I was in a tab in a form and have lost somethings. I dont really know what the "tab" is called. There are three tabs on this form. In excel, it would be called a sheet. I can see the controls and labels only when I am in design view. When I switch back to regular view, it dissapears and the screen is blank/white. I also am getting parameter errors. Any suggestions?

In design view, right click on the tab and open properties.
Make sure "visible" is set to yes.
 
I did that and it says that it is visible.
 
Is there data present to populate your form?
 
May be your Form lost Recordsouce and it show empty . Check your form' property and see it !
But it s better if you post it to this forum ! :D
 
Well, now it will show it, if I put in a parameter value for each field it asks for when I first open the file. I don't understand why it is asking for parameter value.
 
Usually it asks for parametar values when you loose your recordsource...check that one...
 
I don't understand how to check my recordsource. I am new to this.
 
open form in design view, double click on top left box (really really top left) to open form properties, click on data tab, there should be a row called recordsource (or similar) click on drop down arrow on this row and all possible record sources should appear. Pick the one that seems relevant to your form, save, open form in form view and see what happens.
 
When I clicked on data for that tab, all that was available was "enabled" with a yes/no choice. Any suggestions?
