    I do not see the objects

    Please if you can help me in the following:
    The objects are not displayed and I can not select them. When the form that I want and want to design appears, where the objects are mentioned (tables, forms, etc.), only the image is displayed and not the name of the object (it is small margin), the form has occupied the space that belongs to the objects.

    if you build a form on 1 PC, put the objects on it, then give it to another PC (or an upgrade on the designer pc)
    those objects no longer exist , so access converts it to an image box placeholder.

    Calendar is a big culprit. Newer PC dont have the common controls so boom, an empty box that is useless.
    You can copy the objects from the source PC and put on the new PC. It usually works.

    I think you are actually referring to the navigation pane being much narrower than usual so you can only see the object icons.
    If that is what you meant then see this page from my website for 3 ways of solving it: http://www.mendipdatasystems.co.uk/f...ane/4594427672
