why is only my header printing?

I have made a form and put fields into it, but for some reason it will only
print if I put the fields into the header section, which I don't want to do.
I am obviously not an aficionado and really don't know code. . . just want my
form to print.

Forms are for entering data to the database if you want to print data
you should create a report.

I thought that a form and a report are directly related. So can I set it up
to where my form turns into a report when I try to print it?

If you're talking about Access somehow switching the selected form into a
report when you select Print, I don't think there's any way. What you'll
need to do is add a Print button onto your form that invokes the report
you've defined, passing it a where condition to limit what's printed based
on the current record in the form.

You're not, by chance, trying to print out a blank form, are you? One without
any data filled in?
