MS Access Forum / Queries / August 2005Changed Form Source to Query to Sort Data and Getting Errors
I tried to change the sort order of a form to using a query and now any records that have no data are locked and I am unable to input any data in the fields. I just created a query that matched the field values of the table I was using before and changed the source of the form to the new query. Did I do something wrong here? Do I need a different type of query or anything in the query to tell it to add new data? Thanks! Actually after looking at it a bit more, it does not let me add any new records to any groups, not just new ones. We have a main form with regional information and then a sub-form with the detail within that division. I can't add to a division that had no data to start with (just division info setup initially) or add records to any existing division. Thanks!

Thanks! are you using a query as the RecordSource of the main form? or the subform? or both? post the SQL from the relevant query(s). > Actually after looking at it a bit more, it does not let me add any new > records to any groups, not just new ones.

I am sorting the records in the subform only because I changed a field value to text (you just posted to that question as well, thanks!), which resulted in using a query instead of a direct link from the tables to populate the information in the form. I removed the query and created another one and it is working now. I guess I must have had a missing field or had some constraint that was keeping the form from populating.
