Creating forms

J

I have created a form from a table using the wizard. The table already has
data in it, but when I open the form, it does not show any data. How do I
see all the data previously entered? I did make changes in category names on
the form, does this effect the form itself?

Did you set the DataEntry property of the form to Yes? If so change that
back to No. DataEntry mode hides existing records.

I did not change anything that was already defaulted, but where do I look to
see if this is "yes" or "no"?

Yup DataEntry in the forms property settings has to be set to No.

If you used the wizard (ugh) did you select more than one table? The
resulting query might require records exist in ALL of the tables before you
will see anything in the form?

Yes, I used two seperate tables. That is exactly what it is. I have got it
now. Thank you.
