I've lost the dialog box on my screen which enables me to sort/group records
in a report. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I find it and how do
I get it back? Many thanks.
 
Lost it how? Is the button missing from the toolbar or it no longer opens
where you can see it? If the button is missing from the toolbar, right click
the toolbar and choose Customize... On the Toolbars tab, select the desired
toolbar and click the Reset... button.
 
It is possible that Access is opening the dialog off screen.

To get it back depress the Sorting And Grouping dialog on the toolbar.
This gives focus to the window off screen.
(Release and depress it if already depressed.)

Now press this sequence. You will be doing it blind:
Alt+Space to drop down the control box.
M for Move.
Up arrow and Left arrow repeatedly, until you see the dialog.
Enter to accept the new location, once you can see it.

This should move the dialog back onto the screen.
