Re: Forms do not show

Text rearranged, and comments/questions interspersed. I'm not trying to
"grill" you under a hot, glaring light -- just trying to figure out what
more information might be helpful.

I created some forms using the "Create form using Wizard".
However, I cannot view the forms I created with Wizard unless I click
on the Design View icon.

Access Version? Bound / unbound? Allow Edits?
Data Entry? Updateable?

Access Version? Access 2000

Do you have all three Service Packs for Access 2000 installed, and any
"fixes" since SP3? Access 2000 had problems and, IMNSHO, only really
stabilized with SP3.

On the toolbar, click Help and About Access 2000 to see what SPs have been
applied.

Use Windows Update / Office Update to see if there are other "unapplied"
fixes.

Bound / unbound? That is has a control source

Controls do or do not have Control Source. Does the Form have a Record
Source? If so, what is the Record Source? If it is the name of a Query,
post the SQL of the Query.

Allow Edits? Yes
Data Entry? No
Updateable? If you mean "Allow Additions" then Yes

Are the Controls updateable? That is, what are the settings of their Locked
and Enabled properties (in the Data tab of the Property Sheet).

I have to ask again...

When you "cannot view" the forms, exactly what did
you do and exactly what happened?

Did you have the Database Window open, highlight the form, and then click
Open; did you click a Command Button, and, if so, what was the code in its
click event; or did you open in Design View and click the Form View icon on
the toolbar? What _did_ you see, or was there no response at all?

Oh, yes, you said you created formS, in plural? Are there other forms in
the database, and can you view them under the same circumstances? Are you
having difficulties with viewing any other objects in the database?
