Forms view problem
Have just acquired the job as head of the membership
committee. I was inputting new member information while in the Forms view (where you fill out a pop up form) and was also updating current member information. I exited the program when I was done and then went back in to check my work - only to my horror - that everything in the Forms view had disappeared. The information I had input is still in the database because when I open the Current Members document in the Reports view, the information is in there. I understand that I can also input new information via the Tables view, but I understand that is not the best way to use this database. I did a test and put in an anonymous name while in the Forms view and exited again. That anonymous name disappeared also but is found in the Reports view. Any advice as to what happened? |

If your form has the DataEntry property turned on then it does not show existing records when opened, but is only intended to make additions. If you want to see previous entries then turn that property off. -- I don't check the Email account attached to this message. Send instead to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |
