controls disappear from a subform

[Paul James]

I have a form with a subform, and lately the controls in the subform
disappear from view when the subform has no records to match the current
record in the main form.

Can anyone tell me what's causing this to happen, and what I can to to get
all the controls in the subform to display even when there are no matching
records in the subform?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

The controls disappear from the detail section when there are no records to
display AND no new record can be added.

The new record cannot be added if:
- the subform's AllowAdditions property is set to No, or
- the subform is based on a query where records cannot be added. (Try the
query itself.)

Ah, that's it.

Thanks again, Alan.
