Disappearing Tables, Queries, Forms etc

[newboy18]

Please help, I have been writing an Access Database for a
few weeks, it is not very big or complicated and only has
a few VBA bits. My problem is that often when I close the
Database and go back to the Object View, all I can see is
the Object buttons but nothing in the main window, not
even the 3 Table icons, Create table in Design, Create
table by using wizard or Create table by entering data.
If I click on one of the buttons (Queries, Forms,
Reports, Pages, Macros or Modules and then go back to
Tables everything is OK again. How can I find out what is
causing this to happen?
BTW it is not the PC becaues I have tried it on 2 others
and get the same random results.

I sometimes have that happen to me as well. I just hit f5 and that refreshs the screen and shows my tables, queries etc. Not sure what causes the problem or how to fix it...this is just how I deal with it.

I would also be interested in knowing if there's a fix.

Thanks but this does not work, the reason is that the textbox is not created by the control toolbox but from going to Insert, Textbox, Horizontal.
If I was creating the document from scartch it would not be a problem but this is an old document that I need to use as a template.
Can you still help please?
