Properties dialog in design view
Hello,
Can someone advise how to have the properties dialog box come on automatically whenever I go to design view for a form? As it is now I have to open it manually to use it. Thanks! Jim... |

... Hello, Can someone advise how to have the properties dialog box come on automatically whenever I go to design view for a form? As it is now I have to open it manually to use it. In my experience you only have to open it if you previously closed it. If I close a form in design view and leave the property sheet open when I do so, the next form I view in design view will also have the property sheet open. That is how it "should" be working for you. -- I don't check the Email account attached to this message. Send instead to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |

Properties dialog in design view
Rick,
Hmm, that's interesting. My four (4) personal *.MDB files certainly don't behave that way. If I open the property sheet in design view, it will stay open throughout that Access session. But when I close Access and open it later, the property sheet has closed in design view. The strange thing is that I have some sample *.MDB files that I use to "borrow" code from and those files all behave as you describe regarding the property sheet in design view. The only fundamental difference I can see is that the sample files are in A2000 format and my files are in A2003 format. Any other ideas on how to keep the property sheet open in design view? Jim...
