Yes, you are correct - AllowEdit = False.

Are you manipulating the AllowEdit property?  I have seen AllowEdit false
(for the form) cause blank forms.

You get a blank form if the underlying record source is empty.  As Andy
mentioned, you need to test for the recordcount and if 0 warn the user and
either don't open the form, or if the test is in the form itself close
gracefully.

Alternatively you could go the main/subform approach, where the main form
uses
the userid and the subform lists all open documents with the userid.
