my form doesn't let me access already created data?

[mrbeepa]

I created a form based on a table I created called contracts. when I switch
to database view I can add new records but I can't see old records? Any clue
to what I'm doing wrong?

Sounds as though you might have set the form's DateEntry property to True.
Change that to False. The DataEntry property doesn't determine whether
records can be added; it only determines whether existing records are
displayed.

Is the form's DataEntry property set to True (Yes)? If so change it to False
(No). This property is specifically intended for forms used only for
entering new records.

Take a look at the form's Properties. If the form's Data Entry
property is set to Yes, change it to No - that's exactly what this
property does (lets you enter new data but conceals old data).
