Baffled?!! Forms are in database but now showing in database wind

[Webtechie]

Hello,

I have inherited a database written by some other folks in our company at
another location. I am going through it to make sense of it.

In the database window, under forms, there are no forms listed.

When I go into the Visual Basic Editor and look under "Microsoft Access
Class Objects", I see four forms. I then went back to the database window to
look for the four forms and they aren't there.

I am not a newbie to Access by no means. I have developed a couple of
applications. This has me stumped.

Can someone please tell me how I can see four forms in the Visual Basic
Editor and not in the database window? When I click on the forms in the
editor and click on view object, it opens the form with all of its buttons
and textboxes.

Thanks for your help in this moment of confusion.

Tony

They may be hidden. Try Tools, Options, and check Hidden objects in the Show
block.

Perhaps they have their "hidden" attribute checked. Try showing hidden
objects from Tools ... Options.
