    Form doesnt show up with "rightclick -> open"

    Hi all,

    have a weird problem:



    My form doesnt show up, neither if i try to open by clicking on it nor with macros. Rightclick -> Design View somehow works.

    Does anyone knows this kind of problem? How do I solve it?

    Check the form properties AllowFormView. Is there code that makes it hidden or minimized (look in the program task bar when you open it normally), or sets the Windows window property to Hidden?

    If I turn on the datasheet view to "Yes" it works! Thanks!

    But why do I need it? I have other forms where it is set as "No"?!

    Edit: This gets more and more crazy. Now i turned it off again and it works as well...

    Sometimes objects get corrupted, or you forget to save a property change. It's likely not the data sheet view per se, but a combination of settings that opened the form in a non-compatible way, such as AllowFormView No and all the others were no also. Just guessing.

    another guess is that the form is a modal popup and it is opening 'off screen'.
