Field list

[BJ]

I can not get my field list to display. It is selected, but it is not
showing
up on my screen. Someone suggested that it may be "docked" out of sight.
Doesanyone know how to undock it?

BJ,
I've had this happen to me too. I can't remember exactly how I solved
the problem, but...
Have you tried reducing your resolution to 800 x 600 or less.

At 1024 x768 I shoved the Field List as high a I could, on a form design.
The header bar of the Properties List was just visible.
When I went to 800x600, the Field list dropped down... enough for me to
grab the Header Bar, and move the list.

Well, I tried the resolution thing and it still didn't work, so I paid for
Access Support and here is what they told me.
Here's a link for an article on this problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/123585
It basically says
Follow these steps to move the property sheet to the visible portion of the
screen:

1. If the form or report is selected, press ALT+F6 to select the property
sheet.
2. Press ALT+SPACEBAR, M to invoke the Move command from the property
sheet's Control menu.
3. Use the ARROW keys to position the property sheet where you want it,
and then press ENTER.

Hope you never have this problem, but if you do, here is a solution.

BJ,
Thanks for that link.
I think my solution might have worked if you had
gone to a "higher" resolution... not "lower" as I suggested.
But, no way to test that for sure...

Anyhow... your link would be the correct way to do it.
