Where is my form?

Sometimes when I open a form it is nowhere to be seen.
I know it is open because if I try to do something like renaming it I get a
message that it can't be renamed while open, but it is nowhere to be found!

Occasionally this is solved by minimizing the database window, whereupon
vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear, and I find the form is way off
the window, and I drag it back to where it was supposed to be.

Other times, like now, minimizing the database window does not result in
scroll bars, and the form is still not visible on the screen. Where is it?
How do I get it back so I can use it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Open any module, on the menu View | Immediate Window and use the
Forms!yourformname... format to set the Top and Left properties to 1, which
should put it at the upper-leftmost corner of the Access display area.

Forms!yourformname.Top = 1
Forms!yourformname.Left = 1

I'd only expect this to happen if you change the display resolution, drag
the form around, and change the resolution again; or if you change Top and
Left in code; or if you might have set the form to Hidden.
