I think I destroyed My Database

[Guest]

I had just opened a union query and accidentally hit my scroll pad on my
laptop with my thumb. It immediately scrolled all the way down and started
beeping. I closed it all without saving.

Now when I open my database file, the main access window (the one where you
choose tables, queries, etc.) does not appear, but their is a scroll bar
along the side scrolled all the way down. It wont let me scroll it back
up...I cant find my tables or queries...

Has anyone ever experienced this problem??

I don't think your database is destroyed, just misplaced. Open it and
click menu items Window -> Cascade. That ought to bring your database
window back into view.

Hi.

Has anyone ever experienced this problem??

Yup. Select the Window -> Cascade menu to automatically rearrange the child
windows within the main window, starting at the top left corner.

HTH.
