I designed a form in Access 2016. No fields were present when I opened it in form view or layout vi

[ddde]

I am not an expert in Access by any means. I have successfully designed other forms and have not had any issues. The design is pulling in fields from a number of tables. I saved the form and when I opened it in form or layout view, there was only a white page. On the property sheet of the form, Data Entry, Allow Additions, Allow Deletions, Allow Edits and Allow Filters are set to Yes.

Any help would be appreciated!

Data Entry set to Yes only allows entry of new records and will not allow display of existing records. However, should see labels.

Normally a form is set up for entry/edit to one table. Why are you including multiple tables?

The design is pulling in fields from a number of tables.

Forms based on multi-tables are frequently Read-Only...and Read-Only Forms, that have no Records, in the underlying Record Source, will present as you've described...without even the Controls showing. Is that the case here?

Sorry for the delay in responding.

June7: I recreated the table as one table and the form. When I attempt to open the form in Form View, I get a Enter Parameter Value dialog box. It refers to Client Info.Significant Other where Client Info is the name of the table and Significant Other is the field name. Any ideas?

MissingLinq" There is nothing to indicate a field is read only in the tables or the form.

Access cannot find a field by that name.

Advise not to use spaces nor punctuation/special characters (underscore only exception) in naming convention.

Data names with spaces need to be in brackets like this:
[Client Info].[Significant Other]

...MissingLinq" There is nothing to indicate a field is read only in the tables or the form...

Sure there is...

...The design is pulling in fields from a number of tables...

As I said...Forms based on multi-tables are frequently Read-Only...and the fact that the Form has Fields from a number of Tables means that the Form is based on a multi-table Query!

This behavior is classic for the scenario I described...a Read-Only Form with no existing Records.
