Hi,
I've created a form, on the bottom it has the navigation buttons to move to
the next/previous records. However, the button for "new record" is greyed
out (i can't select it). How do I make the "new record" button visible so
I can select it? No matter what I do (Records->Save Records) it won't save
this record and allow me to enter another record. I'm running Access XP,
thanks for any help.

Check the form's data source. I expect you're using a query with has
the same characteristics. If you can't add records or modify in the
source, you can't do it directly in the form either.

This is a "Non-Updatable" query. Usually caused by using grouping
functions, or by using multiple tables joined in such a way that records
cannot be updated or added.
