Sorry about the title, not sure of best title for what I am experiencing. I am having an issue with Access 2010 and it's about to get the best of me.
It's almost like it's a glitch of some sort. I'm using the Contacts Web Database template provided by MS. It works and the contact/attachment box is shown for the Main and ContactCard Form but ONLY when in Layout View and ONLY if I drag or resize a field or row and then hit the undo button, does the contact/attachment box appear. It's mysterious and extremely aggravating! Saving the form does not help either. When I save and close the form, and reopen, my contact/attachment image is gone again. I can't figure it out, I even rebooted the PC hoping it was just an isolated incident but it continues.
The one thing I did notice is working in Layout View, I can scroll way outside of my design by clicking with the mouse and holding, and dragging left or right. It finally stops at about 3 times the length of what my design should be.
I'm still learning and haven't figured out how to create borders, or margins to keep the empty cells from extending rightward. I can drag the outside orange border, but it's like a window on a PC, I can still scroll inside the smaller window using the mouse as I mentioned above. I'm having no luck trying to set a perimeter around my design.
I think that might have something to do with it displaying the attachment picture randomly but I could be wrong. I tried deleting the empty cells, but since it's tables and not Excel, I'm not having any luck with that approach.
The ContactDetails Form has no issue with the contact/attachment picture, it is only with the Main and ContactCard Form which coincidentally is the two forms I have made many changes too, adding new cells, etc.
Update: Just noticed also on the left hand side where the contact/attachments picture is randomly displayed, that the time stamp date is cut off for the Comments. It is only displaying the PM or AM, and not the whole date and time as it usually does for the comment section. Of course doing the steps I mentioned above, of resizing a cell, then pressing 'Undo' brings the picture and the whole time and date stamp. That's about 19 or 20 characters missing from the left side. I thought maybe I could live without the picture box, but missing the other details is not acceptable.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mike
