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.
Problem now solved but has attracted another I cannot enter records into the for as a pop up message appears stating cannot access specified record, any advice?
thanks

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.
Many Thanks to Slave for your great help and hope you can possibly slove the other small problems for me thanks again highly recommended
