Hi. In Access 2007 I have created a new form. On that form I have set up a
Tab Control. I have inserted into this Control, fields from existing table
using Add Existing fields. The form is now complete as I want it to look.
This form does not populate with the data. In Access 2000, this used to
happen automatically. Is there something else I need to do to get the data
populating this form.
Thanking you in advance for all your help in this matter. Karl Hardeman

You can't populate a form with data. You use a form bound to a table (or
query) to add/manipulate/delete data in that table (or query). Is your form
bound to a table or query?

I don't have A2007 but I imagine it will be the same as A2003. Open the
form in Design View and show the Properties palette. Select the Data tab.
Select the required table from the "Record Source" drop-down.

Regards,
Keith.
