Missing Form View

[lovespar]

I have a front end containing some 60 forms with subforms. Somehow all the
forms connected to one Tabular object (?) show blank. I can see the forms in
design view, can see the headers in datasheet view, but cannot see anything
in Form view which is where we want to input our data. I have checked all the
hidden properties,
imported to a new DB and checked my tape backups. It seems as though
everytime I open a backup, the forms disapear again. I am using a backup from
a date where I know the forms were there because it is our monthly metrics
and I did an upload from them last month. I can delete the data source from
the properties of the form and I get the Form view with errors in all the
fields. I can add a new form on a new tab and it wll show in form view.
Before I set about recreating 45 forms, has anyone run in to anything like
this before?
Thanks for any input

Dear Rick,
You are the Master! On all these forms somehow the Allow Additions was set
to NO.
You have saved me hours of work recreating forms and subforms. I don't know
to protect myself form this happening again, having no clue how it happend
this time but at least now I can fix it.
Thanks again
