Help with Access Forms

In a recent forum posting, Chad Thomas wrote:

I have set up a form using a query. While I can enter data and the data does go to the table, when I close and reopen the form the data from the table doesn't show up in the form. When I check the table the data is there. Please help!

Can you help Chad? If so, visit our forum today!

Are you using bound or unbound forms?

It is possible the form allows Dta Entry ONLY? Check the form properties in design mode. If you look at the Data tab in the form properties, you will see a property called Data Entry. It should be set to “No”. If it is set to “Yes” it could lead to the issue you are experiencing. Hope this helps.
