    Adding Text Box to Form

    Hi All,



    Of all the simple things to do, I am completely stumped. I have a form in design view. I click on the text box tool. Click on my form. It places the unbound control on the form but no label box. When I go to form view, the text box is not visible. I checked the Is Visible property...set to yes. I have two macros that can hide a subform. I wouldn't think this would affect this. I deleted both. No change.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Never encountered that. Want to provide db for analysis?

    It's a corrupt form. 3 other forms in the db are working fine. The db is too big to send. 9.53mb when compacted. Now I need to see if I can copy into a new form...

    Zip file more than 2mb?

    Alternative is upload to fileshare site like Box.com and post link to file.
