Re: List datasheet view can not change data

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Thanks for the reply. When I click on an existing cell, add some text, and
then click on another row, a yellow diamond with red exclamation point
appears in the left column. Clicking on the diamond produces a 'Resolve
Errors' window. Clicking Retry My Changes does not resolve the error.
Adding a new row produces the same behavior.
