Hi
I'm having a problem with my design window. Every now and then it sticks and I can't move through the list of items using the mouse. This happens regarless of whether I'm working with tables; queries; reports. I have noticed though, that it appears to happen after about an hour or so of work. If I close the database down and open it again, it's fine for a while again.
I can close down and re-open, it's just a wee bit of a hassle, and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't happen.
Thanks in advance.

I experience that too quite frequently. Don't know what causes it, but I've found that, instead of closing the database, if you just click on the taskbar item so that it unselects the Access object, it will release it.

I also get that behavior in multiple versions of Access. It is very annoying, especially when working via terminal server.
It also happens in the relationship window sometimes. You have to de-select an object, click on a field of the object, and then you can move the object.
And it happens frequently with the Database window. I have to click away or move the window before I can scroll or select objects.
Do you guys have the VB scroll fix installed? I've often wondered if that could cause it.

No, I don't think I have a VB scroll fix installed.
