Mysterious Form Control Behavior

[baadams]

I've got a multi-user FE/BE database. On certain machines on one particular form the controls are missing from the detail on the form. It works as designed on 90% of the computers. It seems random. Sometimes it works normally, and sometimes the controls are missing. I can see the header of the form but no detail? Thanks for the help.

What that usually means is that the form doesn't have any records in the table for which the form's record source is pulling and either the form's Allow Additions is set to NO or the record source (perhaps a query) is not updatable.

Bob,
Thanks for the response. I didn't build the database, so I'll check the record source. It's only a filter form, so there shouldn't be any record source.
