I am developing an input form and a couple of report forms. The reports work
fine, the problem is with the input form. Suddenly as I am writing the code
and go to look at the product for appearance, the form page is blank. When I
right click on the background and select design mode, the design page is
present. Any help would be appreciated.

You may have an illogical combination of form properties, such as
AllowAdditions=False and DataEntry=True.

Tom, I had thought the same thing, but on checking, didn't find any
conflicts. Have to keep on looking.

A form which does not allow editing, with a current record with no data (or
no current record), will not display the controls. A form for which data
entry is specified will never show data, but should show the controls. It
reads as if you have probably eliminated these, already, but if not, . . .
