All of the comment fields that I have that are editable with 3 lines are stating read only in my access db form I created. Other fields I can edit, only those comment fields that the user is supposed to fill out with random text. Why does it say its read only? This is linked to a sharepoint list and it appears to update other fields just these it won't allow.. so weird.

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Does the field append changes?

Where it says append for the field, should it be marked 'yes' or 'no'?

Okay, I figured it out. This is linked to a SharePoint list. The record in SharePoint list was setup as a enchanced rich text. I changed to normal rich text and now it allows me to edit in access forms.
