Form Went Blank

I was working in design view and the VBA module. When I finished and tried
to open the form, it was blank. Everything is still there in design view,
and all the VBA code is still there, but the form opens as a blank screen. I
made a copy, and eliminated all the code from the copy, and all the controls
except for a text control and the copy is still blank. I checked the form
properties against a form that is working OK, and the properties are the
same. I'm totally confused. Any help would be appreciated.
 
In addition to check the Visible property of each control, check it for the
form section (probably Detail Section)

Click to expand...

The detal section of a form appears blank when both of the following are
true...

* The form has no records to display
* New records cannot be added.

The first can be caused by the structure of the forms RecordSource (if a
query), or by filters being applied, or if the base tables actually are
empty.

The second can be caused by property settings on the form (AllowAdditions),
property settings on the underlying query, or the structure of the
underlying query (many queries are not updateable).
 
I must have inadvertantly set the visible property to no on the detail
section of the form. My guess is that I did as part of a "multiple" control
change

It works fine now. Thanks
