Hi,
Is anyone else out there using Access 2003 and Windows 7? I seem to be having a little problem and do not know if it is a version problem or what.

I have set up my tables, created a query to link them together. The I design my form in design view... but when I click on form view, I get a blank page.

Does anyone have any idea of why this would happen?

Thanks in advance for your help.
David

Have you any records in your tables?
Have you set AllowAdditions = True?

As David has suggested, this happens when there are no records and the form, for some reason, cannot be updated. If AllowAdditions is set to True, you need to open the query directly and try to add a record. If you can't, the query itself, like many queries, is Read-Only. If this is your problem have a look at Allen Browne's explanation with workarounds.

Also make sure that the Recordset Type is not Snapshot.
