Can't see form in the form view

[Guest]

I have a shared database which is split into frontend and backend. Multiple
users use this frontend. One of the user apparently is not being able to open
one of the forms in the form view. only gray screen comes up when trying to
open a form without any controls on it. Any help is appreciated.

Bad idea. Give each user a separate (local) copy.

One of the user apparently is not
being able to open one of the forms in the form view. only gray
screen comes up when trying to open a form without any controls on
it. Any help is appreciated.

A form (at least the detail section) appears completely blank when it has no
records to display and no ability to add new ones. If that user has only
Read-Only access to the file then they would see a totally blank form where
Read/Write users would see the empty "new row" position in which you still see
controls that are empty of data.
