Add error

I also had this error when I was doing a simple text search. I had a db and wanted to have visitors search all the fields in the database with one entry field. I created a "SearchAll" calc field that concatenated all the textual fields with return chars. I kept getting the -9959 error. The problem turned out to be that I had left the calc result type of the field as numeric. Fixing the result type (to Text) fixed the error.

Usually when I've had this problem, it's turned out to be a field name spelled wrong (I once had a client who accidentally added spaces to the ends of about half his field names) or a field not on the layout. I've also had this problem when trying to write to a calculation field or when there is a related field present on the layout. Even though I wasn't writing to that related field it still caused a problem, for some reason, so I solved it by making a new layout just for adding records.
