Default Form Detail disappeared

Hello,

I have created a form that has been working just fine. I went to do a print
preview and the only items I can see are the page header and the page footer.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to fix this?

Thank you

Check the Detail properties for "Display When" and make sure it is not set to
screen only.

Just to clarify is a report based on the form or are you just printing the
form?

As Sninkle asked, is this a report based on a form, or are you talking about
printing a form?

If the object in question is a form, is the data visible on the form?

In a form this behavior occurs when

The record source for the form is empty

and

New records cannot be added

The reasons that a bound form cannot have new records added include:

1) AllowAdditions for the form is set to No
2) The underlying query the form is based on is Read-Only
3) User doesn't have Write Permission for the folder where the
data resides.
4) In a split database, the back end has been moved to a different
location
5) Form's Recordset Type is set to Snapshot

To see if #2 is the case, from the Objects Dialog box go to Queries and click
on the query that your form is based on to open it. Now try to enter a new
record directly into the query. If you're unable to do so, this is the cause
of your problem.

If your query is Read-Only, follow this link to Allen Browne’s article
explaining the reasons this happens.
