Anyone know an easy way to toggle between Form and Design view with a hotkey?
I know you can switch from Design view to Form view with hotkey F5. But is there a hotkey to switch back (from Form view to Design)? Shift-F5 is not it.
I've searched Google and I can't believe I couldn't find an answer. Please help.

With the default ribbon in 2007, it's Alt H W D. I don't see any alternatives though.

Using the standard menu bar in versions up to and including 2003 simply use Alt-V D to switch to Design View and Alt-V F to switch to Form view.

Just as a note, Access 2007 supports those commands also.

I don't use Access 2007 so I've no idea about such things. Does it support all the old menu structure by any chance?

Thanks Chip. That was helpful :)
It seems easy to go from DESIGN to FORM view:
In Design View...
F5 - takes you immediately into Form View.
Alt-V F will also take you to Form View.
But it is not as easy to go from FORM to DESIGN...
Alt-V D does not seem to work. Alt-V responds, but D generates a beep-error.
The quickest way I know is still to right mouse click to get the menu, but that means my fingers have to leave the keys, and that slows me down.
I can't help but feel that there is a better way.

Adam,
I don't have Access 2007 installed so I can't check this for you, but if you say the Alt-V works for you, then do that first. It should open a menu within which there is a Design View option. Look to see which letter is underlined and use that as the next letter in the shortcut.
I fully understand the requirement not to switch continually between keyboard & mouse. I like to use shortcuts whenever I can (and I'm on the keyboard of course ;))
Nope, doesn't work.
In Access 2007, when you hit Alt-V, a small dialog box appears over the ribbon and says...
"Office 2003 Access Key: Alt-V: Continue typing the office 2003 menu key sequence, or press Escape to cancel."
It doesn't show a menu.
...at this point, if I'm in Design view and I press F, I will go to form view, but if I'm in Form view and press D, I get an error beep.
I don't understand why it doesn't work.

Hi folks!
I have a BaseForm class that inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form. It has a
property, whose value I need supplied by the class that inherits it. The
BaseForm usees the value supplied into this property in its Load event.
So, I gave the BaseForm and the property 'abstract' modifier, and put the
implementation of the property in the inherited class; say MyForm. However,
when I did this, I no longer can open MyForm in the design...

Stop me if you've heard this, but I am running Access 2002 and all of
a sudden, if I design a particular form (it's been working fine for
ages), Access crashes rather than open it in design view.
Interestingly, it doesn't crash if I run the app and open it in form
view! Just if I attempt to design it.
If I compact/repair, it allows me to design the form once. On any
subsequent attempts to view in design mode, though, it crashes before...

Hello,
Often when I open one form, and (without closing it) open the form in its
design view, then all the caption value of the controls in this form
remained there in form's design view that is what I don't want. I wish the
caption value to be "". What can I do?
what is the form event from form view to design view?
Thanks in advance,

I have a database that I inherited that has query in it that has
hidden fields when it is in design view. Datasheet view shows the
fields and when I switch back to design view it appears as though
those columns are compressed. If I try clicking between the columns
"<-|->" it does not do anything. I don't have 'Format' in the menu
bar to unhide any of the fields for design view.
Does anyone know how to unhide these columns?

I've a repeater and here is a piece of HTML when I use, I can't switch back
to Design view:
<a href=default.aspx?id=<%#container.dataitem("id")%>Some Link</a>
I get this error message:
Could not open in design view. Place quotes around a '<% %>' used as an
attribute value or within a <SELECT> element.
well, actually I used <% %> as an attribute value, why I shouldn't?
would you suggest an alternative?

I have a form with a Form1_Load() Subprocedure and no other code. For some

It seems MS finally has a hotfix for KB 912019: "You may receive an
error message when you rebuild a solution and try to view a Windows
Form in Design view in Visual Studio 2005". The problem is that you
have to call support which is not for free. Since this is a very
serious bug I don't think we should have to pay for this after shelling
out good money for VS. Can that fix be optained somewhere online?

Hi this is my first post on the forums. I haven't really developed before with Access 2003 so trouble shooting with this application is not my forte. The issue at hand is, created a star schema with all the IDs in one table for the eight tables I created in design view, the datatype for all the IDs is number in this Table.
ID
EventID
ObsID
RecID
ActItemID
LocID
AssgnID
ImpctID
ProjID
