Something is missing from all of my forms in design view

[Mike Krailo]

Not sure what is going on with Access today. I think it started happening this morning, but I just may not have noticed until earlier this morning but all of my forms are missing the very left portion where the ruler measurments are. This includes the upper left hand corner where the form properties can be selected (small black square in corner). Have a look at the screenshot. It doesn't matter what database I open up and send a form into design view, they all have that left edge missing. What the heck is happening? Version is 2309 (Build 16827.20056 Click-to-Run)

How to Hide or Unhide Fields and Rulers in Microsoft Access

In Access, a field is a piece of information related to a single person or thing while the ruler changes the format of your reports or forms.

See if this link helps. It's just a setting you can turn on or off in Design View.

Yea, as soon as I posted this, I figured it out 3 minutes later. I think I must have accidentally hit a shortcut key to turn the ruler off because I use shortcut keys a lot. My new keyboard is driving me crazy. Too many typing errors. That must have been the first time I ever had the rulers turned off. Felt naked without them.
