I have just had the dubious honor of being given a 500k Access database to manage that is not allowing me to do any inserts. I have administrative permissions both as a db user and on the db itself yet the insert button and drop down are all disabled.

There is a .mdw file as well but I am not familiar with working groups and don't know if this is part of the rights problem.

Any suggestions?

this may sound silly, but have you made sure it isn't read only?
