Dataset not in edit or insert mode

[RMichaelis]

Good Morning,

Every time I try to convert my decimal latitude and Longitude to Easting and Northing I get the following message:

qLocData: Dataset not in edit or insert mode.

What do I need to do in order for my lats and longs to be converted?

regards,

Raechel

Thank you Tom.

I have done what you suggested and I am still running in to an issue.

I have been importing my data as follows: File > Import > Excel > Multiple Tables.

All the data including Lat and long populate the correct fields. Again, my only problem is when I try to convert them to eastings and northings I get the following message as soon as I click the "To Eastings/Northing" button:

qLocData: Dataset not in edit or insert mode.

I noticed that if I copy and paste my lat and long, hand type it, or simple erase and retype a digit at the end - the program will convert them to eastings and northings just fine. I am working with very large data sets so I would like to be as time efficient as possible.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks again,

Raechel
