Hi Lyle,
Actually, in Access 2003 and earlier, controls on a bound form which has
no
data and is not updateable will not show, neither will their associated
labels. AAMOF, nothing on the form's detail section shows, including
command
buttons, etc. I haven't tested this yet in A 2007, but will sometime today
and let you know. This is what I used from Northwind:
Select SupplierID, CompanyName
From Suppliers
Group By SupplierID, CompanyName
Having 1=2;
Using an aggregate guaranteed no records and that the query would not be
updateable. Your query was not updateable, but it did return 1 blank
record.
