When I enter a new record in form view and close my database, when I reopen
the database it has not saved any new records. However, I also have a report
that is based on the form and when I open it, it displays the new records
that were lost on the form. I would greatly appreciate any help!
 
What are the "data" properties of your form? Is the Data Entry property set
to Yes?

I would guess that the Form's "Data Entry" property is set to Yes.
This setting allows you to enter new records but conceals existing
records from view. They're not lost, it's just that the form doesn't
show them.

Open the Form in design view, view its Properties, and try setting
Data Entry back to No.

How are you opening the form? If you open it from the database window, do
you see all the records? If you open it from a switchboard that you made
using the switchboard manager, you may have chosen during the wizard to open
the form to add records (rather than edit). In that case the form will not
show previous records.

Can you see all records when you open the form directly from the database
window?
 
I'm opening the form from the database window (I don't have a switchboard) It
shows 1 of 1 record. However, I have 8 records in the report. It had been
working fine previously.
