Disappearing properties in VB properties window

I was writing code in the VB window of Access 2000 with the properties window docked and open (the window that shows you the forms and modules you've created for the project).

I was coding along when suddenly VB seems to not recognize my forms and their properties anymore. The form names are still listed in the properties window, but when I select one none of the properties are displayed. When I refer to a form in my code I get error message indicating that no such form exists as far as this Access database is concerned. Also autocorrect no longer works on form names.

For some reason, however, the properties for the modules are still displayed.

Have I discovered a bug or did I do something inadvertent to cause this?

Any help offered will be appreciated.

 
Have you compacted and repaired the database? Try that, sounds like the database may have become corrupt.
 
Thanks, mkov, but that didn't solve the problem.

I reinstalled MS Access 2000 and made sure I had all libraries and that didn't do the trick either.

I'm going to put this database on another computer altogether and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks again.

Robin
