Troubleshooting Forms

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.

The property sheet for a form control within a Group control is shaded if the AutoDataGroup property for the group has been set to Yes. This is the recommended setting because it gives considerable performance improvements.

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.
