missing form fields

I'm using Access 2000 on Windows 2000. Suddenly one of my forms is missing on its fields when it is in form view. In design view it looks fine but when I switch back to form it displays an empty blank form with no fields. I tried importing the form from a backed up version of the database in which the form is operating correctly, but the imorted form behaves exactly like the one I'm having a problem with. Several people have access to this database so it's possible that someone changed something; however it's pretty unlikely. Anyone have any idea what might be going on here

Thanks

Perhaps someone set the Detail section's "Visible" property to "No".

I don't think that's it since I don't even know how to get to that property (I looked in the help file and it says the visible property can be accessed only through visual basic, a land in which i never venture. no one else does anything in this db except data entry. we're simple folks scraping by on not a lot of know how here.

I compared the properties of the form that is showing up blank with one in my backup copy that displays correctly and every last property is let alike. What really confuses me is (as I mentioned before), if I import the correctly working form from the database where it's displaying correctly into the database where I'm having a problem, the problem follows the form

Any other ideas

thanks

Open your form in design mode. Right click on one of the controls ( text boxes?) that is missing. Click properties on the pop up menu. On the format tab, check that Visible (4th item down) is set to yes. If not change it, and check all the other missing controls

Hope this helps

Have you checked the query that is attached to the form. Maybe you're not
getting any records.

maybe try the same for the 'Details' section of the form - while the 'Properties' form is open, click the form's background and it should select the details propertie

Hi Spence,

Debbie's answer is most likely the correct answer. See the following KB article:

Form Opened in Form View Is Completely Blank
