Hi,
I was doing so well (so I thought), I had a header and a detail page which
opened nicely and then I decided to add some navigation buttons to my
footer - uh oh, now when I open the form it won't show me the middle
detail section, just the header and footer!
What have I clicked on? Does anyone have an idea of what I've done wrong?

Have you checked from the form properties what is the default view of your
form? If you can see all the items in designview but not when the form is
open, try changing your default view.

I am using Access 2000 and can't seem to find the "default" view under
form properties...... everything is visible in design view though, so I
haven't got a clue what I've done (or not done, as the case may be).

Hi Michaela,
Make sure report detail section is set to visible and not set to invisible
by accident.
1) Right click details section
2) Select Properties
3) Click Format Tab
4) Make sure that Visible option is set to Yes

Dear All,
Thanks for all your advice, I was really stumped. Do you want to know what
the problem was?? My footer width was set too high, so it was, in effect
covering up my detail section!! Wierd, huh? I'd have thought that MS would
have placed the emphasis on the detail rather than the header and footer!!
Thanks again,
Michaela
