couldn't edit the field

L

I put several text fields in a form, 2 of them are attached to a table which
I need them to show the contents of the record from the table and at the same
time user can edit it, I set the properties Enabled as True and Locked as
False, but when I run the form, only those unbound fields can be edited, when
I put the cursor into the 2 fields attached to the table, it just shows me
the value, but I couldn't enter or edit it, why would this happen?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

The data source for your Form may be a Query that does not allow fields
to be edited. For example, the Query might be "Snapshot" type instead
of "Dynaset". You might try opening the Query directly (bypassing the
Form) to see if it allows you to change the fields that you would like
to change.

There may be other reasons for not being able to change the fields, but
this would be enough.
