I could easily fix this problem (I hope) by deleting and recreating my form, but I'd really like to know what's going on.

I made a simple form that relates to a single table. No big deal. Somehow, through all of my editing and coding, whenever I open up the form all of the controls are empty. It acts as if the related table was empty. I know the table is not empty though. The only way I can get the form to display anything is if I select "Remove Filter/Sort". The odd thing is I can't find anything that would be filtering my form. This form has no code and the form properties don't show any filters. This odd behavior even occurs when I open the form from the database window and even when I reopen the database.
 
it could be the Data Entry property of the form. if it is set to yes then you will not see records. this property name must be interpreted to mean Data Entry ONLY (and should be named as such...imho...). try setting it to No. hth.
