Where's my database window

[rewdee]

I can't seem to bring up the database window. I've gone to Tools->startup->Display Database Window. I've restarted the mdb file and hit F11 but I cannot see the window. Where is it and how do I make it visible?

Thanks,
Rewdee

Hi!

It may just be off the screen. Are there horizontal or vertical scroll bars on the screen?

Yes, but I've scrolled down and accross and do not see it.

Is it listed under Windows? If so, click on it and then drag it to where your other windows are. If not, click Windows->Unhide. You may have some code hiding it after the database is opened.

Yes, it is checked under windows. I tried hide and then click unhide. I get the standartd dialog box with elements I can unhide. In this case one item the database. I click OK but cannot see a thing. If I do have a macro that hides it, how can I edit (delete) macro to get at it?

This is pure frustration,

Have you tried shifting into the database? (Hold down the shift key when you click on the database file name to open it.)

Shifting into the database should bypass all of your startup routines and put you right at the database window.

Did you originally write this database or did someone else? If someone else wrote it then it's possible that they put some lock out routines in the database to prevent users from changing the design. That may be what you're running into. Maq B-)

I had this error once, it came up after my computer spontaniously rebooted while using the database, and i could not get to it, I could see it under Window, and it was unhided, i tried starting with shift without any luck, finally i got so pissed of, that i got it back from backup, and redid all changes...

Funny you mentioned the blue screen. That what happened to me. Anyway, I got peeved off and created a new mdb file and just imported all the database objects and now everything is back to normal.
