Can't see Database Window

[laina222]

Hello all, hope someone can help!

I have a database where suddenly I can't see the database window. The database still has 7000 kb, so it must be there, and I use it daily, and the database window was there yesterday, but suddenly its gone. Please help!

What happen if you open your database holding the shift key depressed ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

It didn't open the database window, but it seemed to generate just about every report in existence

I have a label that is not visable on a form, the main form is yourform and uses the following code to open database window when you click on the label:

Private Sub Label7_Click()


DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "YourForm", True
DoCmd.CLOSE


Exit_Command17_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command17_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command17_Click
End Sub

Never give up never give in.

There are no short cuts to anything worth doing

Hi laina222,

You could have incidently closed the window. Right click Access window yust beside last menu item (not on any menu item). The "Database" should be checked; if not, check it. You can acomplishe this task also by clicking on "View" -> "Toolbars" -> "Database" should be checked.

Also see if there is a right vertical scroll bar. If there is one, scroll down you may find the window.

-After opening your application, close it using the "X" button at the upper right of the window.
-Click "Windows-Unhide"
-Select your database window

If your database window appears in the "unhide windows" list, it could be that you have changed the startup parameters for the database :

-Click Tools - Startup
-Check if the checkbox "Display Database window" is unchecked. This should solve the problem.

PS I use a version 2002 of Access, but it should be the same in 2003
