I have a form that was created by another person in an Access DB that I now
manage, that doesnt appear to be working correctly. The form comes up
properly, but only shows some of the fields that should be on the form ( less
than half appear ). When I change to Design View, all fields are present.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why they may be hidden in Normal Form View
and how to get them to show up again?

Thanks
 
The Visible property of those controls might be set to 'No' (select one of
the controls and look for the Visible property on the Format tab in the
Properties window) or there could be some code behind the form that
programmatically manipulates the Visible property. Try opening the code
module in the VBA editor and searching (choose Find from the Edit menu) for
the word Visible.

If that's not it, is there anything that the hidden controls have in common
that they do not share with the visible controls, e.g. are they all
contained within a container control such as a rectangle, subform, or tab
control?
 
Thanks for the help. have a Great day.
