Microsoft ACCESS - why won't it do what i want it to?

[katzg]

i'm trying to get it to draw me a form but it won't, it has already made me 3 forms!! but now none.

Look along the left hand side and check you have the tab labels 'forms' highlighted. If you're in the queries one or macros one you won't see the forms you've drawn.

Failing that, check to see you haven't actually minimised them (a favourite trick of my students).

Finally, have you actually saved them?

sorted it out by starting again! not sure what i had done but since this is the first time i have used it, i don't think i've done too badly!!! i now have a beautiful form to give people to fill in, then i just have to input all the data!!!

might come back to you for more help once i have the data, to help me compile the reports!!
