Hidden Field in Datasheet view for a table

[Sam Berry]

Hello All,
when I go to Table Design, there is a column named Field 1 (it is text).
When I switch to Datasheet View, it becomes hidden.

Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance
Sam Berry

"Hidden" as in zero-width, or "hidden" as in "off-screen"?

Hidden as in "off screen" is the issue. I can see it in table design right
underneath the PK, but when switching to Databasheet view, it is not visible

Table Design View
ID
Field 1
Field 2

Datasheet view
Id
Field 2

Sam

I was thinking more that "field99" would probably not show on-screen without
scrolling.

It sounds like that column is "hidden".

Have you tried searching Access HELP concerning hiding and unhiding columns?

What data types are fields one and two (text, memo, number)?

Is the form based off the table, or a query? If a Query, what sequence are
the fields listed in? Seems to me that the width of field 2 could be pushing
field1 off the visible area of the screen. Is there a horizontal scroll bar
visible?

Hi Sam,

Access 2003 and earlier: Format menu, Unhide Columns item.

Access 2007: Right-click a column header and choose Unhide Columns.
