Why can't I add data to fields on my form?

Daniel B
I created a form that displays several fields, including numbers, text, and memo fields.

I am mainly trying to add data to my memo fields, but it does'nt let me type anything in, and at the bottom of the screen it says, "recordset is not updateable".

I beleive I have the correct property settings, but I can't figure it out.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Is your form based on a table or a query? There are certain circumstances that a query is not updateable and you might have run into one of these.
