mouse click) in the past without realising i may need to
access it again. how do i go about making it a viewable
table/form again.

Jane,

With your database open, go to menu Tools > Options, tab view, and click
Show Hidden Objects.

No bug, I think.

If she used the undocumented dbHiddenTable attribute, through code, to hide
the table, the table may well be deleted on the next compact. That is
because dbHiddenTable was never documented as being usable for
general-purpose table hiding. It is a system constant with an unspeified
purpose. So there is definitely no "bug" there.

And if she used the normal UI to hide the table, it will not be deleted by
any compacts, AFAIK.

Cheers,
TC
