Franz,

This may not be it - you don't say whether you can do other typing in the 
fields - but I've been utterly stumped in the past by fields that I can only 
edit using the property inspector (or otherwise programmatically).  I finally 
tracked it down to the autoHilite property - this is presented on the first 
tab of the property inspector for fields, and the documentation on it is very 
clear, so I don't really have an excuse - but the behaviour has nothing to do 
with the name, so it's nonetheless very confusing.

The effect of autoHilite on a button is exactly what you'd expect.  The effect 
on a field is that if this property is false, you/the user can't select the 
text or set the insertion point - and hence can't type or paste into the 
field.  (Depending on the 'focusable' property - you may still be able to tab 
into the field.)

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but it's worth checking.
