I created an MS Access Database with around 1000 entries. This database has forms that can change or add new entries, some forms only allow users to view data.

I released this database, however a small amount of users can't seem to see anything on some forms (coincidentally these seem to be the forms where data entries can be entered or changed). They can see everything on the forms where data entries are read-only.

All users have the same version of the database, so I can't seem to find out why it just doesn't work for some people. Another similar question; Form visible in Design View, but blank in Form View couldn't help me out either.

Does anyone know why this may happen?

Edit: I have asked the users for which this error occurs, to update all VBA packages, this hasn't worked though.

CodePudding user response：

Solution, as suspected:

The affected users did not have write access to the backend.

I'm actually a little surprised that Access is so clever (?) to show edit forms blank in this case. :)
