Blank Form

I've created a form through the wizard and I can see it in
design view but it displays blank in form view. I ran
accross this once before and know it was a simple fix but
just can't remember what it was.

Thanks

In the form's design mode click the detail section and view
the properties dialog. Check to see if the entire
detail section's visibility has been set to No.
If so set it back to Yes.

This will happen when the Form's Recordsource a) has no records and b)
isn't updateable. You can't see the existing records because there
aren't any, and you can't see the blank New record because you can't
enter new data into a read-only recordset.

Check that the Query upon which the form is based returns data, and is
updateable (unless you in fact want a read-only form). If it's not and
you can't tell why not, post the SQL of the query; someone should be
able to help.
