Question

I created a report using query which shows all the records from one table, each rows of report shows one by one records of the table. Now i want to delete the records in same report, i created one button and each row generates same buttons and perform same deletion it works. Now i also want to edit(update) my records. So i added one more button edit, now when i click the records in any rows of that report cursor entered to particular textbox but cannot modify the value inside it. I want to update records using same report and edit command button, i think it may be set to read only but i cud not find it in propery window of text box, This Report is automatically generated by clicking the query and it loads result of that query is that reason for my problem?

Try making a form using the Form Wizard. That should allow you to make new records, edit existing records, and even delete records fairly easily.

Reports are read only and intending for printing to paper. Putting buttons in a report to delete records is not what reports in Access was designed for.
