Unable to see Properties in Design View

[JimO]

For some reason I am unable to view the properties sheet when in design view. I go into design view but am unable to view any details nor can I find anything to help , it's very frustrating. I have rebooted everything but it is still the same in any Access DB I open, no properties sheet.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

thanks

Assuming you know how to open the property sheet, it is probably minimized or hiding waaaayyyy off to one edge of your screen. Sometimes I move it way down at the bottom and forget. When I invoke to open it (on the ribbon) I actually close it. Not seeing it, I click to open it again - not there. Once I discovered it was hiding, I now know to look for it where I usually park it at the bottom. There might only be a sliver of the window frame visible, but it's there. It's normal Windows behaviour to place a window in the spot you left it in when you reopen some apps, so closing/opening Access won't fix it.

I had that happen once before as well and it took a while to find it, but as of yet I have had no success. Any other 'tricks' to help in the search? It sounds like a bug. They need some sort of a reset button that when necessary would display the window at the top left or center or some position you can easily see. It is very frustrating.

Found it! It was hidden at the very bottom center, (you have to look REAL CLOSE). It is very easy to miss. They really need to fix this it is a big pain in the *ss.

You can expect the same behaviour for any other application window AFAIK, so don't expect a fix any time soon!
