hi all,
using xp. What would make all of the controls on a form
disappear in form view. all controls - textboxes, lables
buttons, images ect. when i go to disign view they are there.
but in form view all i have is a blank form with title.
I have worked with 97 and 2k. this is my first use of xp
and i have never experianced this before.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

The problem occurred in earlier versions also. If there are no records and
the form's Record Source isn't updatable, you'll get a blank form. Where
this becomes really puzzling is that in some cases, once a record has been
added, the recordset is apparently updateable, but with no records in the
recordset, the same thing occurs.
 
thank you Wayne. I thought i was going crazy. this is an
unbound form, getting some of it's data from a query. the
rest is user input and the table will be appended by
recordset. but since the table has yet to have data, it was
an empty query. i put some dummy data in the table and the
query has date. and now i have all my controls. thank you.
