Can't see form in Form view

I feel pretty silly for even asking, but here goes.

I created a form with the wizard. I can see it in design view; however,
when I go to form view, the form is empty. I checked the visible property.
It is set to yes. I checked the font color and changed it in case it was set
to the same back color.

Help me (with pathetic face). Why can't I see my form?

Thank you

If there are no records returned by the source, the form will appear blank.
Create a test record via the table and you should be good to go.

Is the source of the form a query? If so, does the query return any records
when you run it?

I have no query's set up. I have five tables and I've established
relationships betweent the tables. I took the relationships off, but the
form did not show up. When I go to "Filter By Form" everything shows up.

What's the source for the form?

The five tables. I used the wizard to create them because I didn't want to
drag and drop everything from the field list.

I believe that's the problem - you have multiple sources for a single
object. I would either create a main form using whatever the main data table
is and subforms for each of the child tables, or create a query joining the
tables into a single source object for a single form.

That's not what I wanted to hear, but thank you for your suggestion. I'll
give it a try.
