This typically means that a) the query upon which the form is based
has no data in it and b) that it cannot be updated either. Doublecheck
your query: are you joining from the Primary Key (with a unique index)
of the "one" side table to a Foreign Key of the same datatype in the
related table?

You may also want to consider the more standard technique of using a
Form for the "one" side table with a Subform for the "many". You'll
still want to have the Primary Key and Foreign Key, but now you'll use
them as the master and child link field respectively.
