SYMPTOMS

A control added to a form at design time, such as a text box, is no longer visible on that form during design time.

CAUSE

The Left and Top properties of the control are set to a value outside the boundaries of the form or set to a negative number. The SSTab control may also reset these properties to a value outside the boundaries of the form.

RESOLUTION

In the Property windows, click the Object list box and click the control. Check the Left and Top properties to make sure they are the appropriate values. If the control is still not visible, set these values to 0 to place the control in the Top Left corner of the form.
