Hi friends, I have a problem and I am not very good with access. I am
building a DB on vegetable garden with different tab control . I just
starting now and I have four different table to use to build my form. I did
the first tab and everything was ok ( I try always the preview form to see if
it works) . So I decided to start the second tab (sub menu) and I did. After
that I tested on view and there was not one menu anymore, only it show the
title and white page. I tried to go back on the preview work erase all info
from the second tab but it still do not show anything only the title. I
cancelled the first tab info too and nothing. What can I do now?
I can use the DB from the db table but not in view .
please help thanks

I don't know quite what you have done (I can't see your database from here)
but that symptom suggests that you are trying to base a Form on a query that
doesn't return any records (so you can't see any existing data), and is not
updateable (so you can't see the blank "new record" either).

Stop. I think you're jumping to forms too quickly! A properly normalized set
of Tables is your garden soil; get the soil properly tilled before you start
planting (i.e. get your Tables set up correctly before you start creating
Forms).
