Forms

[Guest]

I have a form built. In design view it shows just fine, but in object view,
all of my labels and text does not show. Any ideas why?

If your form is based on a query and there is no data returned in the query.
that could be the reason why the form appears to be blank

This happens if two conditions are true: the Query upon which the form
is based returns no records (so you don't see existing records), and
that query is not updateable (so you don't see the blank new record).

Check the Query you're using as the source of the form. Does it have
any records, and does it let you add new ones? Probably not; fix the
query and your form will work.

Note that if you're trying to create a Form to update two, three or
more tables, it's best NOT to use One Grand Master Query; instead use
a Form based on the "one" side table and a Subform (or subforms) to
enter data into the related tables.
