Hello
While working with a query I tried to go to design view. I must of miss hit
the keys. Now when I try to go to the design view form the 'View' word on
the menu I get "...can't run the macro or callback function 'fdesign'. How
do I correct this. I'm using Office XP with Windows XP Pro.

Thanks

You must have imported one of MVP Stephen Leban's utilties at some point.

Here is the fix:fDesign is a custom function for a RotateText method. At some point you
have either:

1) Imported my function into your MDB, added a custom Menu Item to call
the function, and now you have deleted the Code module containing the
fDesign function.

2) You have imported the ToolBars from the sample RotateText MDB but not
the code.

If you have not made significant modifications to the native Access
ToolBars then simply:

1. Right-click on the top menu bar and select Customize.

2. On the tab that says "Customize" there is a list of all the menu
bars/toolbars. Check one at a time, and hit the button that says
"Reset."

This will reset all the menu bars/toolbars back to their standard
layout.

Thanks for your reply

It helped. I can copy the the parts of the toobar I need to keep and then
reset the toobar and then copy them back.

thanks again

I reset the native form view toolbar and it didn't correct the problem. I
work on this project at home and work. At work it works fine. At home is the
problem. Anything else I can do?

Try resetting each and every menu bar and toolbar by going
through the list one at a time and hitting reset.
