Empty/Blank form appearing!?

I recently copied an old form and modified it with new fields and
such, and now when I try to simply open the form (view it to enter
data) there is nothing but the header showing! The header is only
3/4" tall and the size of the form is correct, but there is nothing on
it. If, in design view, I move some fields around that stretch the
form, the big empty box I have changes accordingly, but still nothing
but the header appearing. Any idea what could cause this?

Thanks,
Andrew

Click on the Data tab of the propertysheet for the form and see if you
have it set to DataEntry=Yes. I doubt it is that. It is likely it is
opening the form filterered on a record that does not exist. See if
there is a filter in the form and remove it.
