I have form that is based on a query. When there are no records, the form
does not show any control when it is opened. When there is at least one
record the controls do appear. Can someone please help with this mystery or
explain what is happening?

Thanks

When you see a blank form that still displays all of the empty fields it is when
the form is positioned at the NewRecord position. When a form is based on a
Query that doesn't allow new records there is no NewRecord position and the
detail section appears completely blank unless it has existing records to show.

show.

Or the form's AllowAdditions property is set to No.
