Form and Layout Views invisible - what else to try?

[Kathryn]

Hi

I have the situation that a form set up simply to input information has
decided to be visible in Design View but not in Form or Layout Views. It was
working fine until this morning (UK time) and I can't think what I did that
made the difference. I am new to Access so could have done something without
realising it.
Looking through the Discussions, I have tried what I found there:

It is not a query form - simply a form to input data. (All the Queries I
have set up already still work fine).
I have checked the basics from links in responses - headers or footers too
big, etc.
Also Allow Additions/ Deletions/ Edits are all "Yes".

The form takes data into three related tables - and I have been
experimenting with relationships - is the clue in there? (Though I have gone
through all the tables and can add/ change, etc everything in them).

Is there anything else I can try? (Bearing in mind that I am still very much
learning!) Or would it simply be easier to start again with the form?!

Many thanks for any help

Hi Kathryn,

Open the form in design view. Right click on it and open properties.
Check the "Visible" property. If it's set to no, that's your problem.
Change to yes and voila!

Thanks Kevin

I think it was checked to be visible - have just checked and it is now...
However, I was away over the weekend, came back, switched on, checked form -
and it is working fine! Obviously just needed the rest! Bizarre...

But thanks again!
