Forms showing up blank

Hi all, I have a access file that Ive sent to a coworker. I had a problem
with the references but now they are fixed. However the coworker still can
not see any controls on the forms after the link is clicked. For instance the
main switchboard opens up and he sees everything but when he clicks a link
the form shows up blank.

Is there any reason why it does that on his computer but not mine? I sent it
to him by zipping it via e-mail.

Any ideas?

Thanks

That's typical of the situation when there is no data for
the form AND the form's AllowAdditions property is set to No
or the form is opened with the DataMode argument specified
as acFormAdd.
 
Hi,
forms will show up blank if there are no records for the form's
recordsource.
Are you sure that the coworker has the correct front end and back end and
that the new front end can find the existing back end on their computer?
