Help with blank form

Mike Busch

Created a form, and when I view this form I comes up blank. No fields, they
are there in the design view but that is it. Thanks.

If this is a "bound" form (and most are), you need a data source for your
form. Open it in design mode and check/set the record source property. If
that baffles you, create your form again using the form wizard; it will
ensure that you don't skip anything important.

This usually means that the Form is based on a Query which a)
retrieves no records, so you can't see any existing data and b) is not
updateable, so you can't enter (or see the blank) new record.

What's the Form's Recordsource? If it's a Query, and you open the
query as a datasheet, do you see any records, or the *> new record
line?

If this doesn't help please post the SQL view of the query, and
explain what the form should be displaying.
