Changes to Report Header making report blank?

I have been working on a very complex report for days. I was just putting a few extra fields in the report header. As soon as I did this, the report began opening up as blank. When I closed out and tried to open from the report tabs, nothing happens when I double-click. If I totally exit Access and come back in a few minutes later, it will open okay until I enter the parameter fields for the header.... Then it goes blank again.

Any thoughts?
 
Is there any more info you can give, i.e. Are any of these parameter fields part of the criteria for your report?, Is the control source for this report a query, table, etc.....
 
The parameters are actually set up in a query, and not the data source (table) or the report itself. If you know of a way to make it flow, that would be wonderful. This "blank" issue appears to occur after any change to the report header - not just parameter issues. I am completely befuddled.

Thanks.
 
Can you include the current data source (table) into the query with the parameters and make that query the report's control source? Does this parameter query exist just to display on the report? If so, you might want to change the text boxes' control source to be the parameter you are looking for, i.e [Enter date].

If none of this helps, can you send me the db so I can take a look?
