Has anyone ever come accross this
All of a sudden, my Access2000 program appears to be "broken"
When I'm in design view, editing a form, I can't get the Properties dialog to come up
When I right-click on something and click Prpoerties nothing comes up...the program thinks it's displaying the Properties Window because I can see the Properties Icon being depressed on the toolbar...but I can't see it

I alreadsy tried uninstalling, and re-installing Office to no avail

Please advise..

Than
:madcap
 
Is it popping up off screen? Does the main Access window have either a
vertical or horizontal scroll bar showing? If so, that may be where the
Properties window is at. Try scrolling to see if you can find it. I tried
using the Window|Tile command, which usually is easier than the scrolling,
but the Properties window doesn't respond to the Tile command.

Yes, there always seems to be scroll bars...even if there is nothing "off screen"
I had checked that, and the Tile Windows suggestion...but nothing

Is there a way to completely re-install Access, or Office
When I uninstalled, and reinstalled it feels like there may be a Registry Hive or something controling the office configuration. Can I delete said Registry Keys of some other files to force "fresh" new install

Thanx for your help...
 
You're correct, not everything gets removed. Here are some articles which
should help you remove everything.

Some of these are similar articles for different versions of Windows.
