Properties window missing

[DivemasterBill]

When creating a form, the porperties window has disapeared, vanished, color
me gone....but it shows up when creating a report.

I tried clicking on the properites window icon many times; from the menu-
View, Properites, F4; and Alt-Enter. Nothing. I unistalled and re-installed
Access and nothing. The window seems to vanished. In one word......HELP!

Contact me here, or better still through my email of (e-mail address removed).

Try resetting the location in the registry (regedit) under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Access\Settings

Find the corresponding key FormPopPropST.

The 9.0 represents Access 2000. Your version may be different.

I am using Access XP and 2003. Both have the same problem. They also have
the same FormPopPropST keys in the hive, but obviously with different values.

In resetting the key, how do you do this? Delete the original, re-boot and
restart Access?

Try setting it to something like this:
1;17;138;298;489;

That should be on screen regardless of your resolution.
Of course, Access must be closed when you do this.

Tried the registry hack on both versions.....BINGO!!

It worked like a charm!!!!

Thank you very much for your help!!!!
