Form Blank when I use OpenForm Action

[Eric]

Why is my form blank when I use the Open Form Action?

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmAnalysisFilm", acNormal, , ,
acFormReadOnly.

I was hoping that the user couldn't input any data, but
could view it.

perhaps you need to include some sort of link criteria?
IE the autonumber or ID number of the record your looking
to view.

Hi Eric

I get the same result if the form is based on a query, and the query finds
no matching records in the underlying table... but that's only when I try to
link it to the form it opened from (ie form2's ClientID = form1's ClientID)
