    You need records in the recordsource for your form otherwise you get a blank grey screen.

    One of my users reported a similar problem and it turned out the form was opening outside the display area of her screen. Setting the form's Auto Center property to Yes solved the problem.

    If this doesn't work, it would help to see it in action. Create a copy of the DB and remove everything except the form -- the lack of records should not make the form completely disappear.

    I'm not very good at solving this kind of problem without looking at the DB. If you want to upload a sample DB (delete the content of the tables or include just sample data) I'll look it over.

    I didn't notice the email (I rarely check my messages because the box is not available from my work PC) but I'll take a look when I get home.
