Fields disappers if data entry set yes

[Jon]

Hi,
I have form that it is used for entering data in table. When I set the Data
Entry Property to yes, all the data fields in that form disappear!!!
Moreover, the form record source is a table not a query. Please advice??

The actual text boxes on the form disappears or the text boxes go blank?

Data Entry is to put new records into a table. It will open up to a blank
record. After you enter a record or two, you should be able to go back and
see just those records until you close the form, but not any others.

Why would you want this? Think of a situation where you have data entry
clerks. You only want them to enter new records and not touch any old records.

If you don't want that to happen, set Data Entry to No and make sure that
Allow Edits, Allow Additions, and maybe Allow Deletions to Yes.

Is it a subform by chance?

I'd like to see this problem. If the database is small enough and doesn't
contain any sensitive information, you could send me a copy of it. Compact
and Repair to make it smaller then use something to compress it like WinZip
or a compressed folder in Windows. Email it ot (e-mail address removed).

I just email it to you.

Hi Jon,

It hasn't made it yet. How big was the file?

I noticed that I typed the email address with an upper case O which you
might have confused with a zero. It should look like below.

The detail section is blank when the form has no existing records to show
and no ability to add new ones.
