Form won't let me edit text boxes

Hey all,

I have a form (based on a query) that displays a variety of data in text boxes. I have the form properties set to allow edits, but I am not able to change data/numbers in the text boxes. The text boxes are not locked either.

The uses parameter values passed from another form to filter the data.

What seems weird is that when I open the exact same database in Access 2007 it allows me to edit the form data like I wish, but when I open it in Access 2003 it does not seem to work properly.

I need to have the ability for it to work in 2003 and 2007 as users of my database use both versions of Access.

Thank you for the help!

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Hi Jonman03,

You will have issues with databases where you want users to use different versions, if you look under the VBA side you will find references under the tools menu, in the references you set to the version of Access that is being used by the individual based on the pc. Normally access is already set so if using version 2007 the reference will be for version Office 12 if version 2003 the reference will be for version Office 11.

Another question. Is the query pulling information from multiple tables as this generally makes read only views.
