Hi!

For some reason I can't seem to be able to enter text into edit boxes that I placed on a layout. I get a message saying "Before typing, press Tab or click in a field, or choose the New Record menu command." I created a new record and nothing, I know this is probably something very small that I am over looking, but I could use some help.

thanks

It's not wanting new record - that produces a different message. The message you are getting is indicating that the field can't be entered.

Check the field behavior: Right-click field > Field Control > Behavior and make sure 'In Browse Mode' is checked. :wink2:

it is, forgot to say that in my previous post

Strange. Is this Form, List or table view? Can you post a .jpg or your file?

here's the file

thanks for your help

***btw it's the "student login" layout

You have your related Student fields on your Login layout - but you don't have 'Allow Creation' turned on in your relationship. But I wouldn't think you would want to create a Student when they login.

Change that StudentID and SUBJECT to your LOGIN fields instead. :wink2:

hehe that fixed it...

thanks again for your help ;)
