    Navigation Bar Width Issue


    I have an Access 2010 Database everything was fine. I don't know what I did but now the Navigation Bar is a narrow slit on the left of the screen with a scroll bar at the bottom. Nothing I do will expand it out. The scroll bar scrolls the text left and right but it doesn't expand the Navigation Bar any wider. I've looked at all of the properties and I don't see any way to change it. Help!

    Is it a huge database? If not - can you create a new blank database and import all the objects from the messed up one into the new db?
    Or are you having that Navigatoin Pane issue in ALL your Access DBs?
    I've never had that happen to me with the Navigation Pane - I tried to make it happen but I didn't see a way to do it . . .

    No it's only in this one DB. It's not a huge database. If I didn't get a resolution I was going to copy everything into a new db. Just can't figure out how it happened or how to fix it.

    I've had stuff like that happen to me as well. I wish there was a handy-dandy 'Reset to Original Settings' option [I think earlier versions had that option] . . . that would be helpful. I know on a lot of the digital musical gear I have I would be dead in the water without the 'Restore Factory Settings' on some of those units because I've gone in and tried one tweak too many. What I hate is when you don't even know if it is something you did - or if Access just choked . . .

    All the best, Ray! Let us know if you figure it out!

    The worst part (at least for me) is never really knowing for sure what caused it. Access or something I tweaked. I created a new DB and copied everything into it works great. deleted the old one.

    Moving on to several new projects now.
