SYMPTOMS
You find that fields are not updateable in a data access page that contains the Office Developer Workflow toolbar when you view the data access page in Microsoft Access 2000. This happens even though you clicked one of the transition buttons (that is New, Edit, Resolve, or Assign) on the toolbar before you tried to change any data. The page is updateable, however, when you view the page in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 if you first click one of the transition buttons.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Office Developer Workflow toolbar fails to unlock the data in the data access page if you view the page in Access. The behavior in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 is the intended behavior.
RESOLUTION

STATUS
