Default Hidden Field in Datasheet view for a table

Hello All,
when I go to Table Design, there is a column named Field 1 (it is text).
When I switch to Datasheet View, it becomes hidden.

Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

"Hidden" as in zero-width, or "hidden" as in "off-screen"?

Hidden as in "off screen" is the issue. I can see it in table design right
underneath the PK, but when switching to Databasheet view, it is not visible

Sam

I was thinking more that "field99" would probably not show on-screen without
scrolling.

It sounds like that column is "hidden".

Have you tried searching Access HELP concerning hiding and unhiding columns?

Default Hidden Field in Datasheet view for a table

What data types are fields one and two (text, memo, number)?

Is the form based off the table, or a query? If a Query, what sequence are
the fields listed in? Seems to me that the width of field 2 could be pushing
field1 off the visible area of the screen. Is there a horizontal scroll bar
visible?

Hi Sam,

Access 2003 and earlier: Format menu, Unhide Columns item.

Access 2007: Right-click a column header and choose Unhide Columns.
