Read-only Forms in a SQL .adp file

Hello All

I recently created a application using a MS Access adp file with a SQL
Server back-end. I have noticed when I create a form manually or via the
wizard the records always appear as read-only.

I have checked the properties of the form, changed Recordset Type as
Updatable Snapshot but still the records in form appear as read-only.

Does anyone have suggestions?

I look forward to a reply.

Many Thanks

1. Do your tables have unique indexes?
2. Have you identified a unique table in the form properties?

Yes, Lyle I have selected a unique table in the form properties but still I
cannot edit the data via the form.

Look forward to further suggestions.

Many Thanks

What about a unique index. Do your tables have primary keys?

Yes, Lyle I have selected a unique table in the form properties but still I
cannot edit the data via the form.
