Any ideas? I created a form in Access 2000. When I try to open it in form
view, the screen is totally blank. I've clicked on the Visible property, but
nothing seems to work. Thanks!

Click to expand...

The detail section of a form is totally blank when both of the following are
true...

1) There are no records to display
2) The form and/or Recordset do not allow new records to be added

The first can be caused by an actual lack of records, or because a query
join or criteria results in zero rows returned or because the form has a
filter applied that returns zero rows.

The second can be caused by properties of the form (AllowAdditions),
properties of the query the form is bound to (Snapshot RecordSetType), or
because the structure of the query causes its ResultSet to be not editable.

The last is a big topic and there is an entire article in the help file that
discusses when a query is updateable or not. Search for "When can I update
data in a query?"
