Disapearing forms and subforms

[lovespar]

I have a front end database connected to tables in a back end. Monthly this
FE is used to collect metrics. Today, all my forms and subforms are blank.
The backend has retained the information entered into it last month. The date
update Query and Macro are pulling in 1/31/2008. Can anyone give me a clue
why/how this could happen?
I am pulling back up system tapes to do a restore but would like to know how
to prevent anything like this happening in the future

I have seen this happen when the connection to the backend is not working
( I can't quite recall why it wasn't working).
Try using the Linked Table Manager to relink to the backend.

I updated all the links and the forms are still blank. It was worth a try.

Make sure the frontend is connected to the correct backend ( this might have
been where I saw the problem, I mentioned in my last post).
Create a query in the frontend, switch to datasheet view and if you can see
the records, create an autoform from the query. See if the form has any
data.
