'new record' button not active in Access 2007 form (old 2003 form)

  • Follow


I have upgraded a small local app from Access 2003 to 2007. I have a menu 
that calls a few forms.

On the first form I tried to open from the menu, I've noticed that the 'new 
record' button on the navigation strip is not enabled. And I'd really like to 
add records using the form!

On the form properties I have Data Entry set to 'no', and 'allow additions', 
'allow deletions', 'allow edits', 'allow filters' all set to yes.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Is the form's Recordset Type set to Dynaset?

If the form is based on a query, open the query directly, and see if you can 
add a new record there. If you can't in the query either, then the problem 
is not to do with the form.
