Hi,
I'm real new at this and hope someone can help. I've made a form using
Form Wizard, then changed the format to suit myself. The form controls
come from one main table which is linked to several others. Trouble is
that the form won't accept any information or even show its fields in
the detail section of the form. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Well,

I'm fairly new at this also, but open the form in design mode and in
the top left corner of the form is a square block if you right click
this square and choose properties you can then open the properties box
select the data tab and check out the control source, it shold state
what table your form looks into for the data fields.

Hope this helps

Joe

Sounds as if your form's Data Entry property is set to Yes but the form's
Record Source query is not updatable. You'll have to give us details about
the setup.
