This is likely a problem of my own making but how do I fix it? The problem is when I press <F11> to display the database window it opens but places itself just outside the Access window... all I can see is the bottom portion of the database window and I can't move it back to gain access to the features of the window.
Ideas???

Thanks, Mike
 
One fix.
Close Access and make your Computer desktop setting Resolution bigger. (just temporarily)

Sometimes you have to restart your computer.

Right click on your desktop and click Properties.
Click Setting and make the resolution higher one increment. Say you are running 800 x 600 make it 1024 x 768

Then open Access and see if you can get the bottom of that box
Move it where you want it then hit the save Floppy icon In access to save it there.
Then set your resolution back again.

Thanks, DougP. That'd probably work. What ended up working was to tile the open windows, resize and move, and save. I can't believe how I was held up by something so dumb that had such a simple fix. A real &quot;forehead slapper&quot;. <G>
Thanks for the response!
