I have developed a main and subform in the usual manner, however in the case
in question, the form view displays a blank page whilst the design view is
fine
The detail section of a form will appear completely blank when there are no
existing records and no capability to add new ones.
The view you are accustomed to seeing on a form with no data existing in the
RecordSet where you still see all the controls with no data in them is actually
the NewRecord position. If something about the form or RecordSource makes
entering new records impossible then that position is not available and you get
the totally blank view you are seeing now.
The most common cause of this is trying to use a query as the form's
RecordSource. There are many situations that render queries not editable and
there is an entire help topic that discusses this.
