Tab Control form not showing in View

[Danielle M]

I have set up a database which has multiple tab control forms (which are
linked together) for data entry. One of them is not showing when I view it,
although it looks fine and all the fields are there in Design view. I have
looked at the properties but can't seem to figure out why it isn't showing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

The obvious first;

This particular page isn't set to visible=false right?
Do you have any coding behind the control to set pages visible and not
visible at runtime. Often pages are hidden based on checkboxes that are
checked or unchecked.

Oops, my mistake. I thought you were talking about the tabpages but i see
that you mean the form isn't showing. Well in that case is there any output..
are there any records that can be shown. Also do check to see if the visible
property of the form is set to visible.

Yes, visible is set to true and there is data to view. But even with my other
tab control forms, a blank form opens even if there is no data to populate it.

Yes, visible is set to true and there is data to view. But even with
my other tab control forms, a blank form opens even if there is no
data to populate it.

But does the form in question allow new records to be inserted?

When you see a form with controls that are blank you are positioned at the
new record position. If the form does not allow insertions then there is no
new record position. In that case when there are no existing records the
entire detail section shows as completely blank.
