Good day.
I created a form that worked perfectly fine all along, but now suddenly it disappears of the screen whenever I change to form view. If I pull the form from previous versions it works fine again, but if I make the slightest change (e.g. changing a text box size or font weight) it disappears again. The following is what I see when I change to form view:
1. The form disappears in form view.
2. The form does not show under the "Switch Windows" button on the "Home" ribbon.
3. I can open the form in layout view and design view.
4. The border is a different size in design view than what I made it.
5. When I try to delete the form Access tells me I cannot delete a database object while it is open.
6. When I open it in design view and close it again, then I can delete it.
How do I fix this...?
Thank you

Make sure that Auto Resize is set to NO. What type are you using? Are you using Resizable Form as the form type? If so try setting it to Dialog.

Hi Bob

Yes, that worked. I am now able to edit the form again. Thank you very much!
