data entry = yes => blanc form

[nicholas]

Hi!

Got following problem:

I have a form to insert data. (= creates new records)
I have another form to search existing records.
When a record is found, I select and open it to edit it.

On that form there is the option "Data Entry".
If it is set to no, I can see the form layout and contents, but I cannot
edit it.
If it is set to yes, nothing appear. I just get a blanc form.

Any idea what could be happening?

Thanks!
Nic

Make sure you have the form property
Allow Edits set to Yes

It's set to yes.

Thx anyway ;-)

Make sure the the query the form is based on is an updatable query. To find
out open the query and see if you can change any data.

The form is linked to the table.
There's no query involved.

thx!

If you used the form wizard to create the form then the wizard likely
created a query based on your table. Have you actually checked the
RecordSource property?
