I can see them fine in Design View. I've added a text box, but when I
go to Form View, they are not there.

Help said something about a Visible property, but I don't see this
anywhere.

I've tried repeatedly with different forms and they never display the
header/footer.

WTF?

It's Access 2003 - on Windows XP Home, if that makes a difference

Hello Mike,

Go to design view of your form, right click on the Form Header bar,
and select Properties. Then select the Format tab. You'll see a
property for "Visible", make sure it says YES.

Repeat by selecting the controls in the header and footer to make
sure they are selected YES in the visible property.

If that doesn't work, make sure there isn't any VBA code behind the
objects, Header, Footer and controls, that is setting them to be
visible. It would look like: txtTestField.visible = False.

Outside of this I don't know.

Regards,

Ray.

Thanks - upon closer scrutiny, it appears I had clicked on Page
Header/Footer on the View Menu.

Page Headers appear only when printing???? (I'm guessing)

Your correct, Page headers are for printing purposes.
