Form not showing fields in Form view

Help! We have an Access Database (2000) that we have created. We are
working on the last pieces of it...getting the forms together. It is a
simple database of participant info, attendance, and department tables.

The form we are trying to create is the attendance form. This form is based
on a query. We have tried designing it using the wizard as well as designing
it from scratch. We also have a back-up database that is identical to this
one (also in Access 2000) where the form works. I have even tried exporting
that form (the working one) into the database where it doesn't work. This
form that doesn't work is showing all the fields in the design view, but when
you save and bring up the form view, the form goes completely blank. Can
anyone help?!?!

Thanks!

It sounds like there are no records to display. Do you get any error
messages?

Have you tried running the query on which the form is based on to make sure
it is actually bringing up the records you want to display
 
Well, I believe there are records in the table that the form is linked to.
But even so, the lables don't even show up. Only the page header.
Absolutely nothing shows at the bottom of the form in the detail area. It is
curious. In the meantime, I've upgraded the machine to XP and if worse comes
to worse, I am going to start from scratch. Because now it seems like I'm
having relationship problems. I went to go and look at my relationships and
they are not as I had left them. And it seems like the changes that I make
to them to get them back to the way they're supposed to be-isn't working.

Thanks for responding...both of you!
