Tabs disappear in layout view in Access 2007

[Ed]

I have a form with four tabs. As I've designed the form I've been able to go
between design and layout view with no problem to check the form design.

While working on the design the other day the layout view suddenly changed
and I can't see the tabs or controls- nothing except the text in the Form
Header. There is nothing in Detail section. Everything is as it should be in
design view.

I've checked the properties for everything I can imagine and the property
controls seem ok. I don't know if I accidently checked something I shouldn't
have or if the form is just corrupt.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
