Data in forms not showing up

[slybitz]

So I'm trying to make a form and for some reason when I do the form wizard and enter all of the table fields to be shown in the form nothing shows up. A blank form just pops up after the wizard completes. I can get a couple of tables to make a form but nothing else. Is it possible that my tables are messed up? Any ideas??

Thank you so much!!

The form you are trying to create, does it have a Control Source? Is the from you are trying to create based on a table or query? If it is a query, try runing the query by itslef.

There isn't anything that I can think of that you could do to a table and not have the fields show up on a form. Even if the field information in the table were incorrect.

Have you tried making a test table and then creating, using the wizard, to make a form based on this test table?

The form is based on several tables. When I do just do a couple of tables that are dependant on eachother there is no problem but when I do all 7 tables there is a problem and nothing shows up. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Does the underlaying query returns some rows ?

I don't quite understand what you mean by underlaying query returning rows.
