Hello, Experts.

I will write a short desription of this problem to see if anyone recognizes it. Can write more as req'd.

A2k. I have a perfectly ordinary form that has a perfectly ordinary report launched by an action button on the former.

When I am finished with my report and want to go back to the form, it has...vanished. For instance, I hit close on the report and I am back at the main database screen (where you pick table, form etc).

I can then go to Window, and the form is showed with a check mark indicating it is the active window! But I can't see the form until I completely close out of the database and re-open it.

Thoughts, please!
 
Bull,


Maybe the form is being minimized somewhere in the background? Look at your windows taskbar and see if it is there.

Just a thought.
 
The weird thing is, it's on the taskbar, but when I select it, it does not appear.

I can do whatever I want - write queries, code, go to other forms - but until I restart the database, that form is gone.

Thanks.
