This is a problem I haven't experienced before...maybe you've come
across it and have an idea of what's going on. Using A97.

I closed my app last night and reopened it. The Access window was
maximized by the database window was not available. I used the
horizontal and vertical bars to find it but it just wasn't there. At
one point I slid the horizontal bar over and it just disappeared.

I created a new database and imported all of the objects. I opened
several forms to make modifications and they opened correctly. I
attempted to open another form in design mode and the Access window
resizes but the form is not displayed. I can click Window/FormName from
the menu and it looks like its activated but the window is "hidden".

Ever see anything like this?

Hi.

> Ever see anything like this?

It sounds like the screen isn't repainting as it should. Do you have any of
the following code in your modules?

Application.Echo False

- or -

DoCmd.Echo False

. . . or a macro with Echo On set to No? Newer versions of Access
automatically set Echo back on after a macro is finished, but I don't
remember if Access 97 was also automatic.

HTH.
