Cannot edit new page

[goslincm]

I've not worked with Access Pages much, however I thought users could edit or enter new data into a page. On my page the buttons are greyed out to add a new record or delete a record.

I wanted to create a page so users could use it to input data into our database, instead of having them complete a orm in Adobe then have to convert it to get it into our database.

Should I be able to accomplish this by using an Access Page?

To make a DAP (data access page) updatable, you must include the primary key on the DAP. If your source is a query, then it must be updatable.

Thanks, one other question. Can you set the page to open via enter mode only like you can a form? I would like it to open up to an empty page.

In design view, bring up the property sheet. Then click Edit - Select Page. The property sheet should just say "Page". Then click the ALL tab and change the option Data Entry to True.
