a2k - properties dialog not appearing anymore, for anything!

Strange one this. If i double click on a control or right-click and click
Properties nothing comes up. Even View, Properties doesn't work.

Have done a detect and repair to no affect and the database works fine on
the laptop.

Any suggestions?

thanks

That happened to me once,and I finally figured out that it had somehow
wandered off my screen. I set the resolution very high, found the dialog
and dragged it back, then returned the resolution to a more usable level.

I still can't see it, it should be within the Access MDI window but nothing
there.
