I have a form that I have been using for many months.
Never had a problem with it. Today I opened it up and
none of the fields are showing. I went into the design
view and I can see everything...the fields, control
buttons, etc. When I go back to view it's blank except
for the background color. Help were would fields go?

Click to expand...

The detail section of a form will appear totally blank when the form has no
records to display and doesn't allow new ones to be entered.

The former can be caused by actual empty tables or because a filter is
applied which has no matching records. The latter can be because a
property of the form is disallowing new records or because the RecordSet
the form is bound to doesn't allow them.
 
This could also be caused by the form being corrupted, this is a problem
with Access..
Try creating a new form, the copying and pasting all the fields into the new
form. Set the properties of the new form, in particular the RecordSource,
the same as the old form.
If the form has a code module, copy and paste the code as well.
