Amazing Vanishing Form--Help

I have been successfully making forms and subforms for years. I am working
in Access 2003.

I made a form, based on a table, in design view.
It's a fairly routine form.
There is data in the table.

The form shows 17 records, but none of my fields will show in single form
view.
In datasheet view, the records show.
In single form view, I get the navigation bar, and that's it.

The properties show that all the fields are supposed to be visible.

What could be happening? So far as I can tell, I made this form just like I
would make any other form.

In case it's relevant, I was making this form to be a subform on another
form, and I didn't check it as a stand alone until I had put it into the
other form and found it didn't show anything. But it doesn't work as a stand
alone and I cannot figure out why.

Grateful, as always, for any suggestions.
 
Did you set Data Entry to Yes, and AllowAdditions to No?

That combination would make the detail section go completely blank.
 
I'm guessing that the form's DataEntry property is set to Yes, and the
form's AllowAdditions property is set to No.

If this isn't the case, post the values of the form's properties, including
the RecordSource, etc.
 
Thanks.

No, that was not the problem, and I ultimately got around the problem by
rebuilding the form, this time using the wizard.

But the problem proved to be that somehow the "visible" property of the
detail section had been set to No. I checked the visible property for each
field, but hadn't considered checking the section.

Thanks for your willingness to help, though

That certainly will cause the result that you saw < g >.
