From: Finance guy on 24 May 2010 09:26 I have an Office 2003 database with subforms. The subform displays, but the objects do not show. It displays as one giant rectangle, but all text boxes, etc are completely hidden. Moreover, if I open the subform up, the result is the same. However, if I go to design view, all objects appear. I am unable to get the objects to display on my form. Any assistance appreciated.
From: Daryl S on 24 May 2010 09:48 It sounds like no data meet the criteria to be displayed. This could be due to the parent/child link from the main form to the subform. Is the main form on a record that has matching subform data? -- Daryl S "Finance guy" wrote: > > I have an Office 2003 database with subforms. The subform displays, but > the objects do not show.

From: BruceM via AccessMonster.com on 24 May 2010 09:58 Does the subform control have a source object? If so, is the source object based on a table related to the main table, and are the Link Child and Link Master fields correctly set? Finance guy wrote: >I have an Office 2003 database with subforms.

From: Finance guy on 24 May 2010 10:05 This happens when all transactions are deleted from the database, so your assumption is most likely correct. Is it possible to force the subform to show all controls regardless of is there is data that meets the criteria to be displayed?

Are the transactions the main form data, or the subform data? Are the Link Child and Link Master fields for the subform control set up correctly?
