form datasheetview, columns are frozen. How to unfreeze them
Hello experts,
I have a form (#1), with a subform (form #2 is the source) on it. This subform has multiple textboxes in it and is bound to a table in the database. I have the default view for it set to datasheet ...
When I open up form 1, form 2 displays in the subform in datasheet view.
Somehow I seem to have frozen the first three columns in this datasheet on the subform or Form # 2. I want to unfreeze these columns.
When I checked the table that the form #2 is bound to, nothing is frozen so I'm wondering if this is something specific to the properties of the controls on form #2. I need some guidance here.
thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if you have any questions or need clarification.

" so I'm wondering if this is something specific to the properties of the controls on form #2"
Yes ... it should be specific to the datasheet form itself.

On the Access menu >> Format>>UnFreeze All Columns.
Then File>>Save.
apologies but can you clarify where is the "Access menu" is? I am able to find "format" as a property sheet of the form but I don't know specifically what you mean by the Access menu, couldn't "unfreeze all columns" on any control property.
I tried looking viewing the form in datasheet view, right clicking on one of the frozen columns, but unfreeze columns is disabled.
thanks for clarifying.

I'm talking about the main menu/tool bars at the top of the Access application window.

not sure if it makes a difference, but i forgot to mention that I'm using MS Access 2007.
Well, I see it's A2007 now. You need to find the Format options; however re:
"but unfreeze columns is disabled. "
That seems odd. If you just open this form normally from the database window ... and right click ... is that option still grayed out?
