Missing data on forms

[AshleyA]

Hi! I'm new here and have a little bit of experience w/ access...

I have a problem... I've created a form in my db but when I go to view it (not in design view) the information in the detail area is not there? The problem is not unique to this db either, I have this problem in another... Any ideas? All help is appreciated.

Perhaps you can post your db (without sensitive data) so someone can have a look at it.

Does your form have a RecordSource linking it to the relevant Table or Query?

i've been stuck wondering wth was going on a couple of times when, after doing various things with a form, somehow the data properties got changed without me knowing about it. for the heck of it, check the Data Tab of the form properties and make sure
- allow filters
- allow edits
- allow deletions
- allow additions
- data entry
are set the way you want them.
the one that drives me crazy is the 'data entry' property. it should (usually) be set to NO, to answer the question, "Is this form for data entry ONLY?", not, "Do you want to be able to enter data?" (yes). The other properties are usually all set to "yes".
