Data Access Page read-only problems -

I don't think I've ever had so much trouble with a new system or
concept. DAP in Access 2000 has got to be one of the most annoying
systems I've ever had the honor to learn, but this is the technology
my boss wants used for the Intranet, so I don't have much choice in
the matter.
Here's my latest problem. I have a data-entry screen I'm migrating
from a paper solution. One section of the screen has to be expandable
(the user is noting which programs need to be deleted from a large
network, and the section is a list of all of the servers that could be
affected). I couldn't find a way to make this work on a one-page
solution, so I broke that piece off to a separate page. Fill out the
general information, click the DETAILS link, fill out the server
details, you're done. The request ID is carried from page to page in
the link, and the details are stored in a separate table with its own
ID field, so everything looks good.
Problem is...the details page always comes up read-only. This is a
data-entry solution, I can get the details out of the system directly,
I need to fix the read-only problem. Anyone have any advice or
solutions for me...? |
