Forms dont work as expected issue.

[maxxev]

One such problem is a form made in the front-end woulden't return anything (it was blank even when I know there are entries in the database). In the back-end when tried out the problem did not occur.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

To supply a little more info.

Forms created by wizard in the front end show no data and when imported into the back end have the same problem, however when re-creating the form IDENTICALLY in the back end(using a wizard) the form is populated with no issues.

Are your tables linked?

 

[maxxev]

do you mean in hte relationships window, if so yes.

Are the tables in the FE linked to the tables in the BE ?
You shouldn't have any form in the BE, just tables.

Hope This Helps, PH.

There are no Forms in the BE (except where I copied them there to check the issue).

Tables in the FE are all "linked" from the BE. there are no tables in the FE

What is the Data Entry property value of your form?
