    How do you "unhide" a form

    In what I believe is called the Navigation Bar - the bar at the left of the Access screen, one can see the various tables, queries, forms and modules associated with a project. As an experiment, I right-clicked on a form, and clicked the option "Hide in this Group". Now it doesn't show up in the group. But I can't figure how to get it back. I assumed there was some sort of unhide command like in Excel. If there is such a command in Access I can't find it. How do I make it so I can once again select this form so I can open it in design mode. (I assume that the form still exists in the project, because I didn't delete it).



    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, you don't have Display options set Show Hidden Objects = ticked, this will show hidden objects ie forms you hide. you can then click on the hidden form and unhide it. I use this to hide forms after thier design is completed. you will find it when you right click at the top of the forms list, select Navigation Options, and it's at the bottom of the form.

    Thanks. That works perfectly. I can't even imagine how long it would have taken me (like Never) to discover that if it hadn't been for this Forum!
