Default Property Sheet Missing (sort of)

When I go into form design, I try to being up the property
sheet for the form. The windows all lose focus, and the
status bar reads as though I was in the property sheet. I
can tab through the fields and everything looks good,
except for one problem - the actual window is missing. It
looks like the default location has been changed to
someplace offscreen, but for the life of me, I cannot find
it.

I've tried resizing my display both bigger and smaller,
rebooting, repairing my Office installation, and a couple
other things. I am running a multiple monitor environment,
but I tried turning it off. I'm out of ideas.

This is putting a real crimp in using Access, so any help
would be much appreciated.

Chris

It happens to me a few times with the Help window.
Restore the Access Application window and check around the
edges of the screen, especially the corners as this can
show up as a tiny square in the corner.

If you use background image on your Desktop, it may be
easier to see using the standard blue background.

I guess if all fail, you may need to repair Office /
Access.

It's likely moved off screen. When you see it has the focus, hit
Alt-Spacebar and then hit M.

You can then use the arrow keys (likely left and up), to move it back into
view.
