Have a weird problem. When I open my application within access I sometimes have to reset the column widiths in the details view because they reset to zero. When I open the application from access is fine and the columns stay visable. When I open the application from windows explorer and access is opened by file type relation, the columns are reset to zero and I'm unable to reset the columns and there is a grey box in the area where the columns use to be. I have to shut the app down and open it again from within access in order to reset the columns. Any idea what is wrong and how to correct?

Thanks for your time.

I find it best to load Access and then open the database as opposed to double-clicking on the file (because of strange problems such as what you mentioned) -- don't know why this happens ... how much memory do you have? I have noticed since I have 1.5 gig, it seems to be better ...
