On one layout out of 14, in find mode, the drop down fields can not be
entered. The standard fields can be entered on this layout. All the
fields can be entered in browse mode.

All the fields on all the other layouts are accessible in browse and
find modes.

Are the drop down value lists in question populated by a relationship?

Those won't work in find mode, because the relationship would be based
on fields in the current record, and in find mode there are no records,
just find requests.

Try temporarily changing them to regular fields instead of drop downs
and see if that resolves the problem. That'll establish whether its
related to the format of the field (value list driven) or whether the
field is actually inaccessible in find mode.

Are the fields using a value list of data obtained via a relationship
link??

Those won't work since there's no key data in Find Mode to make the
relationship link valid.
