Form Opens with No Detail Section

[Chaplain Doug]

I am trying to open a form and then close it during the
Open event for my switchboard. When the form opens the
detail section is blank (actually transparent). The box
around the form looks fine, but no detail. Why would this
happen. Here is the code I am using in the OPen event for
my Switchboard:

'Mark those who have not had entries in the last 60 days
DoCmd.OpenForm "Update Standby"
Call MarkInactiveStudents
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Update Standby", acSaveNo

I just want the display to be on the screen during the 10
second MarkInactiveStudents is running.

i had a similar problem that you are experiencing. i
placed a DoEvents after i opended the form, and i was then
able to see the details section.

i hope this helps
