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. HTH Van T.

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. -- Joan Wild Microsoft Access MVP Chris wrote: When I go into form design, I try to being up the property sheet for the form.
