Database Window=the window where you select Forms, Reports, Queries etc.
Here's one that has me pulling my hair out. It's a little thing, but it's
like a paper-cut! The tiniest thing 'hurts' the most. I haven't been able to
nail down a good way to reproduce this yet, because I can't seem to find
exactly what I was doing before hand. But here's the sitch:
After working in a database (SEEMS to be primarily after modifying forms,
reports etc.), close the objects on which work was being done, back to the
parent window with just the database window. It appears to have focus and to
be active, but if you click anything on it, an existing report or even the
Forms, Reports, Queries etc. in the navigation pane, or on the scroll
bar...nothing happens. The last object being worked on is still highlighted
(and it is the active highlight not the inactive shade it would have if the
window didn't have focus). If you become impatient and double-click ANYWHERE
on the window, even the scroll bar or the title bar, the last object will
re-open. Close that object, the database remains in focus but unresponsive.
All is not lost though...simply grab the title bar and move the window a bit
and ... bingo!... it's back in business. Like I say...a simple silly little
glitch but it's driving me crazy! Anyone else experience this? I cannot find
anything here, in the KB or anywhere about it and I'm hoping some of the MS
staffers see this post!!! I have only experience this with Access 2003; I've
never seen it any previous version. A little about the system:
Win XP Pro SP2
P4 3GHz 512MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9200
Logitech wireless KB & Mouse
If there are any other specs you would like to know about, please ask!
Thanks
