Thanks for your time and for the other information. It will help with
workarounds.

If anyone else gets to this old post, I think the OP may have lost his Developer 'Form Design Tools' part off the Ribbon because he did not have "Design View" selected under the Ribbon >Home>View. Easy mistake to make when coming from using the Excel VBA development GUI which does not use these views/developer modes...

Keep it cool and calm folks

I don't think I'd want your answer if you did. Obviously you don't know a
whole lot about developing in Access 2007.
