Something happened today with my DB that I was working with for long time. I probably hit some key or clicked on something. Now when I double click on DB file in Windows Explorer MS Access window is displayed but I can not see my data base even if I click on file and select it from drop down list. The same happens if I start MS Access from Start Menu and then try to open DB.
Please help!
Thank you, Pavel.
 
Check on Window menu and see if "Unhide" is availble. It could be that you inadvertently hid the database.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ~ WOO HOO what a ride!
 
Thanks for response. I am aware of Hide option and tried it already few times. But the DB still is not displayed.
However you gave me some idea. I've just tried to click on Tile Veritcally and to my sirprise the DB is displayed. the only thing it is displayed in format where all tables go down with necessity to scroll. I tried Tile Horizontally with the same result. I wonder if you or anybody else knows how I can change this display format.
Thanks again, Pavel.
