lost form

[jamesd]

I have a database (access 97) that I have been ask to look at.
When I open it It opens Form1

When I open the database in disign mode Form1 does not appear?

How can this be? (I have checked the show hide in options )

 

[Norie]

Can you open the form itself in design view?

 

[jamesd]

Yes I can

 

[Norie]

When you Save As the form can you see it in the database window now?

(You might even get a Save As Copy option.)

Are you sure that the caption itself isn't "Form1" but the name of the Form is something else?

Good point.

I was actually thinking of a database I was looking at recently that had a lot of forms that just didn't seem to appear.

Turned out they had code to 'minimize' them on load/open.)
