Can't edit data in field (1 Viewer)

[h33]

I've created a form (callled Contact) that contains a subform (called Sales). The Sales subform is a datasheet that displays sales for each contact and changes when the record in the Contact form changes. All works fine.

My problem is that I want to display some big text fields from the Sales subform in the Contact form so that I can view them more easily. So I've cut and pasted the fields from the Sales form onto the Conact form and tried to change their Control Source. But nothing I do works.

What should happen is that when a record in the Sales subform changes, the fields that have been cut & pasted onto the Contact form should also change. They do change, but I can't edit the text in them. What have I done wrong?

When the field has the focus, press Shift + F2

Thanks for your reply, but that doesn't seem a very elegant way of editing the fields. Surely there must be some code or another way of that will enable me to edit the fields without opening another dialogue box.
