    Column changing to read-only in datasheet view.

    Reply Contact

    I have encountered a strange problem, and would love some input.

     I have a list in sharepoint site that I paste data in using the 'Edit in Datasheet' action.

    I have had no problems up until Today. Now, for some reason, 3 of the columns are listed as Read-Only when trying to 'Edit in Datasheet' that weren't before.

     The 3 columns are all multi-text w/rich text enabled.

     I have full-control pemissions on the list, and am the only one with permissions to design and modify my sharepoint site.

     Creating a new item via the 'New' action, lets me enter data into those 3 columns, but editting in Datasheet shows them as read-only, which causes and issue since I regularly paste tab-delimited data in from an excel spreadsheet.

     Any thoughts?

    Hi,

     This is probably the result of changing the type of Multiline Textbox 

    Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment)
    to Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks) try changing it back....

    Regards,
