How to create and display headers & footers Access 2007

[BSman]

OK, here's a really simple question for Access 2007. I've been using Access since 2.0, so this annoys the hell out of me. I can't figure out how to show the header and footer in form design mode (although I did it once somehow), but even with the form I made that has a header and footer, they don't display. And I can't even find a visible property for either one that might have been set to no.

Access help is useless. Doesn't even really discuss headers and footers. Written apparently by idiots who don't create applications.

OK, I figured it out, even though the Access help doesn't even recognize (or at least give any help for) form headers and/or footers.

You right click the detail bar on the form and then click on headers/footers.

So why isn't that in help?

You're talking about the menu bar that's been in all previous versions of Access. The new "improved" ribbon menus don't have the old options. In fact, try finding where you have to go to compact a database. (It's around, but a bear to find.)
