Minimized Navigation window

[Smitee2006]

I have a few Access databases that I run and recently one of them has
experienced a bit of a strange issue. The navigation window on the left
which I've been viewing has been reduced to about a 1/2 inch window now and
there seems to be no way to stretch it and make it larger. I've moved the
mouse over the right side of the window area, up and down and all over and no
double-sided arrows appear to resize. My other databases aren't experiencing
this so I suspect it might be a little error that can't be repaired. Any
ideas anyone?

If you have any forms open with their model setting to yes, then the nav
pane gets minimized, and you can't max it.

So, perhaps you ensure no forms are open or run at startup and then try
again.

You also just create a blank database and import everything and you be back
up and running.

I would give the above issue a try, and simply ensure no form is open that
would "force" the nav pane to be minimized.
