Yes I hate Access and VB as much as most of you but I had to use it for my summer job.

Basicly my problem is that when I change a setting on a forms layout (like adding the control box min and max buttons they show when I goto layout view.

But if I close and reopen the database they aren't there, go into design view, look at the properties and they are, back to layout and they are there!

Anything I can do to prevent my buttons joining the foreign legion?
