I have a database in Access 2003. All of a sudden I am unable to open the property window for reports (in design view). Although the property window is visible for other objects such as, forms.
My laptop has different users option. When I sign on as "guest", I don't have this problem with the property window for reports for the same database. What is wrong?
I googled the problem and someone suggested to export the Registry under HKEY from the "guest" user profile. But this didn't solve my problem.
Any help will be much appreciated. It's very difficult to edit a report without the property window.
Many thanks.

In Report Design View, press ALT+ENTER which normally brings up the Properties Window. This isn't a cure, but at least you can temporariy access the Properties Window (maybe).

There's also a Properties button that does the same. It should fix the problem actually, as it's only remembering the last choice. Choose to show properties and it should remember that for you.
NeoPa:
Clicking on the Property button didn't resolve the matter. While the icon stays indented but the property window remains invisible.
If pressing Alt + Enter is an alternative to what you suggest then I am afraid it won't solve my problem. But I will try Alt + Enter when I get home tonight.
Thanks much. M
AdeZii:
Thanks for your suggestion. NeoPa is suggesting that clicking on the property button is alternative way of what you suggest. I tried his suggestion but no no avail. I will try Alt + Enter as you suggested when I get home tonight.
Thanks.

If the button shows as pressed in, then I suspect the window is actually visible (as far as Access is concerned), but possibly moved out of the visible area somehow, or maybe sized such that it doesn't show.
Try (immediately after clicking on the button to show the properties) Alt-Space S. This allows you to change the size of it with the arrow keys. Play until you see the window, then reconfigure it to how you want it.
NeoPa:
It's odd that the property window will open for forms but not for report. I am baffled by the oddity of this issue. What you say makes sense. I will definitely give it a try.
Thanks.

Let me know if you manage to resolve that M.
If not, you can send me the db and I'll see if I can sort it for you. I doubt that'll be necessary though.
The DB works just fine on any other computer except for my laptop and that too only when I sign on as myself. If I sign on as a guest, it works just fine. Can you beleive this strange thing?
Thanks. M

Hello,
I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like
the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or
border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open
function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far
all I have is the basic
var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif',
'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,');
cwin.focus();

This is driving me NUTZ.
All of my forms are keeping the size of the window I design them in, even
when I have the AutoResize option set to Yes.
The actual form (grey, gridded area) is the size I want it, but the window
it opens in is NOT this size.
This applies if I open the form directly, even if I then choose "Window,
Size to fit form".
I know the form stays the size of the design window when I switch to view
