unhide a report

Debbie S.

I was entering descriptions into the properties of reports and I must have
accidentally checked the "hidden" box in "attributes." The report is still in
the database, it just does not show up on the list in the report objects. How
can I unhide it?

Thanks.

Hi Debbie,

You don't say which version of Access you are using, but for versions
97-2003 click on Tools | Options..., select the View tab, and place a check
in the option that reads "Hidden objects". Click on OK to dismiss this
dialog. You should then see your report in the database window, although it
will appear "dimmed" versus objects that are not hidden. At this point,
right-click on the report and then select Properties from the short cut menu
with a left-click. Uncheck the Hidden attribute. If desired, you can go back
into Tools | Options... View tab to uncheck show Hidden objects.

I'd have to figure out the details in Access 2007 before answering, if you
are using this newest version.
