MS Access Help Window

[lscheer]

This may be a funny question, but whenever I hit F1 or the Help button on my toolbar, MS Access Help file opens, but the window is minimized. For the sake of less experienced users, is there a way to change this?

Thanks!

Good question. Mine (Access 2000) used to open a Help window in half the available screen and resize the database to fit the remaining half: a behavior that could only have been implemented to annoy users. Something fixed it - God (or Bill Gates, if there's a difference) only knows what. I'd be interested in an answer to this one, too.

And there I thought it was only me....

I noticed that Ac2K was pretty funky about its help windows. I think if you resize them once, then close them by hitting the X in the upper right corner, it remembers that setting.

I won't swear to that. But that worked for me.
