Troubleshooting Forms
What do you need help with?
The property sheet for my form control is shaded. Why can't I change the settings?
A form may appear blank for any of the following reasons:
-
One or more of the fields on the underlying table may have had the Visible property set to No.
-
The form might not be bound to an underlying table. Check the Data Sources node to ensure that an actual table is specified here.
-
The form might be bound to an underlying data source that does not have any data. Check the underlying data source to ensure that it has data.
If you have a database field of type enum where:
-
The field's Mandatory property has been set to Yes
–and–
-
You use this field as the underlying data source for a ComboBox control
You can't see the enum's first enum value (value 0). The first enum value is invalid.
To select the first enum value, set the field's Mandatory property to No.
