You'll have to post more information than that, Miranda. Access doesn't have a
"lists" object. Has a Table disappeared from the tables window? Does a Subform
now not show data that it showed before? Does a Combo Box seem to be missing
its contents?

And... do you have a current backup? If you don't... you may now be learning
why they're considered essential. :-{(
