Can't display database window

D

Donna

I don't know what happened. I was working with a form
called Patients. In the process of brainstorming, I was
scrolling the mouse wheel up and down. I scrolled it down
a couple times and now my form will not display. I closed
the file and opened it back. My database window will not
display. I have tried everything I can think of. The
Display Database Window check box is checked in Startup.
I don't know what else to do. I can access the tables and
forms in VB, but need the DB Window. Please help.

TIA,
Donna

It sounds like you scrolled it way off-screen to some strange coordinate and
then "remembered" it. When you open your database, does Access's main
window have scroll bars?

Try using the Menu Windows / Cascade which will restore &
re-position the Database Containers window to a more
visible position in case you have moved it to a hard to
see position.
