I'm trying to set up a database with student information (last name, first
name, etc) in a table and the answers given to each of 5 quesitons on a quiz
in 5 separate tables. Each table has an autonumber primary key. I set up
all the tables, and I thought I'd set up a form. In design view the fields
on the form are there. In form view, nothing is there. What gives?
 
Normally that happens if there are no records that meet your criteria and if
a new record can't be added.

Check to make sure that the query (upon which your form is based) contains
data. Go run the query and make sure records appear.
 
I entered some records into the student table, but noting in showing up in
the form.
 
Is the form's Data Entry property set to Yes? Do you see records if you view
the datasheet view of the form's record source?
 
Yes and Yes

If data entry is set to yes, then you won't see any existing records. Set it
to no if you want to see existing records
