Access Form detail displays in Design view but not in form view

Need help, cannot figure out why detail section of form displays perfectly in
Design View but is blank in Form View. Header and Footer sections do display.
Under properties, there does not seem to be a conflict in colors and visible
is set to yes. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have spent a couple of hours
creating this form and don't wish to start all over.

Thanks!

A blank form usually means that two conditions are true: the Form contains no
records (so you can't see existing records) and it is not updateable (so you
can't see the blank new record either). Check the Form's Recordsource - is it
a Query? If so is it an updateable query? Perhaps you could post the SQL view
of the query.
