Alright - I'm know this has to be something complete simple - but I use the
form design wizard to build a form using a query - when I get out of the
design view - all I have is a blue background with no fields - If I go back
into the design form - and move a field to the header or footer - they
appear - but not in the detail part of the form. On the verge of pulling
my fingernails out over this. Any help is appreciated - Keith
 
Likely the query that you used for the form is not updateable, and you've
set the form's Data Entry property to "Yes". Or you've set the form's Data
Entry property to "No" and the form's Allow Additions property to "No" and
the query has no records in it. If a form has no records to display, no
bound controls will show when you switch to the forms view.
 
Check the properties for the detail section, by double
clicking the box to the left of the detail bar in the
form. Uner the format or all tab make sure the visible
property is set to yes. Hope this helps.
