form is blank in form view

[jerbacher]

After making some minor changes to a fairly complex form, it now appears as a blank grey window in form view. All the controls and labels etc. are visible and can be modified in design view, but for some reason I can't see any of it in form view. Any suggestions?

Check your recordsource

I have the same problem. I checked my backend recordsource by viewing it in a dataview. The record is selected. When going back
to the blank display I have to click on the records menu / Remove Filter/Sort in order to see my form objects and bound data.

I'm using MS Access 2000 with Windows 2000 Server OS.

I hope this provides clues!

Thanks,

Steve

Steve:

In the Properties of the Form, make sure thee is nothing in the Filter field. If so, delete it and save the changes to the Form.

Thank you for replying! Yes, I know about emptying the filter property and the orderby property. My header/footer is not too large. I'm not using any queries with joins. The form is updateable (once the forms displays properly). The problem seems to be the syncronizing of the background recordsource with the form. Why is it that the backend query results in a record when I send it to dataview and yet the form does not?

Please help me. This problem is really starting to P... me off!
