Can't see existing table in Design view for a QBE

[DontKnow]

Hi Guys,

I can't see a table in QBE even when I have the scroll bar as far left as I
possibly can. I have joineed another table to the query and I can see the
relationship link but am unable to scroll left to view the table.

Does anyone know how to fix this??

Many thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Open the QBE; select one of the tables, and release the mouse. Press the TAB
key repeatedly until you get to the vagrant table. You'll probably then want
to press the <DEL> key to delete it, and reinsert it.

Or, just go to SQL view; copy the SQL out to Notepad; delete the query;
compact; and recreate the query from the SQL.

Hi John,
Thnaks for your input...
I tried both of your suggestions and neither worked!

The only thing I can think of is to start the query again? ie start with a
new query add the tables and the linkages and the required fields... Is
their anything else that I can do??

WHAT???

You copied the (text only, no image information) SQL out.

Deleted the query.

Compacted the database.

Recreated the query by copying the SQL into the SQL window of a new query.

And it put the image back offscreen!???

What Access version?

Hi John,

I tried again with:
1. taking a copy of the SQL from the original query with the rogue table not
able to be seen on the QBE
2. copying the sql from 1 into a new query and it worked no problems, with
all tables able to be seen!! (without having to compacted)

many thanks for your assistance

cheers, Access 2003 by the way

Is your query in a front-end and the table in a back-end? If so, make
sure they're linked correctly. I recently tried creating a query and
couldn't find see the tables after I had added them. Didn't receive any
kind of error message or anything; scrolled all over the place and still
couldn't find them. I finally realized I hadn't re-linked my tables.

Hi Kathy,

No the tables have not been split... and they defintely were linked
correctly.

Unfortunately for me one of the tables could not be seen. The only way that
I could see them, was as John pointed out was to copy the SQL into a new
query and switch to design view. Then the all tables were able to be seen...
Just doesn't figure does it!!

cheers,

many thanks for your input though,
