Controls no longer showing

[don]

Hi,

I'm using access 2003 in Access 2000 format and have made a
switchboard using a standard form and added controls as required.
I've just done a compact and repair and the switchboard controls are
no longer visible. I've switched to design view and they are still
present and have even imported an a copy of the switchboard from a
backup (where the controls are visible) and have the same problem.
I've looked at the form properties and cannot see anything wrong, its
set to visible, and would welcome any suggestions.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Re: Controls no longer showing

If this is the standard Access Switchboard then that makes some sort of sense.
The first thing the code in FillOptions() does is set all of the buttons
invisible. It then goes through the [Switchboard Items] table to see what
buttons to make visible. Import a good copy of the [Switchboard Items] table
and see if that fixes the problem.
