Forms not visible. Why?

[nickadeemus2002]

Good evening everyone.

I have an application that opens to a start up screen with several options. The user can select a menu option by clicking on a control button. Once the button is clicked, another form is supposed to show with the desired input format. On my system, XPHome with Access 2000, the start up menu is fine. The problem is the control buttons. When I make a selection by clicking on a button, another window opens but the form is invisible. I checked my security options and the app should perform normally. Please advise. I am stumped.

Thanks

nick

Delete the record source for the form that doesn't work, save it, and then try to open it with the start menu button and see what happens.

Check this thread link: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=68927&highlight=opens+blank+form

not sure how else to copy a link.

If there are no records in the forms record source the form will be blank.

I think he means that all of the controls on the form are not there, IE: all he sees is a grey background (depending on his background color for the form)

Can you get it small enough to post, as someone else stated? It would help a lot to see what you are trying to do.

Crilen, Did you follow the link back to the other thread - I remember it but can't remember what was happening...

Basically he just added some stuff to the code.

I'm not sure if this guy is doing the same thing or not.
