Hi Everyone,

Has anyone ever had the problem of not being able to view a database. I tried to open an existing database, but I don't have it in design view or edit view. Basically I have blank page. If I create a new database I do not get the design view screen at all I just have the gray background. It was working fine the other day, not sure what happened. I've tried restarting and reinstalling, but I still cannot view anything within Access. I'm using Microsoft Access 2000 on Windows XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi :)
Hold "Shift" while open ur *.mdb file ... now look in "Tools->Startup->Display Form/Page"...check "Display Database Window" .

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response! I appreciate it. Unfortunately, That still does not work. The "Tools" menu selection is not enabled.

Thanks,
Mike

Does this do it for new databases too?

When you open Access and you have a blank screen, try pressing F11 which should bring the database window into view.
