Who stole my textboxes :o

[RCheesley]

Hi all,

I've got a couple of text boxes which were made teenytiny by the report designer (we're talking, the width of a cursor!) and positioned on the very far left of the report ... only problem is I can't find them now, and I need to as they're associated with a control source that needs changing!

Any ideas how I can either add on a bit to the left of the report to show the area right up against the rulers, or to show fields which are mysteriously hiding?

I've tried taking out every other field on the report by copy/pasting into a new report, and doing select all, but it doesn't pick anything up.

I know the field is there, as when I preview it, I am asked for the controlsource id number!

In design view you can find a drop-down list of all controls on the form. Instead of using the direct graphic approach, try to find them by name via the drop-down list.

yep

top left corner, under the icons - a drop dowm with all the controls

are you by any chance still useing office 2002 ? 0 pixel controls were a bug solved starting ms access 2003 as controls wouldnt go smaller than 1 pixel , also a rectangle selection would bring them to selection
