Hi, Rick.  First I'd like to say that I love your tutorials.  

I have an intermittent problem (not sure if this is the right forum for this).  As I was working on the ProductSubformF, my formatting tools (font, color, etc.) on both the Home tab and the DB Tools tab went inactive (I'm working in ACC2007).  This has happened before.  I think they should be active and can't figure out why they're not.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

I constantly hear from people that have problems with Access 2007. I strongly recommend that you upgrade to Access 2013. I really can't tell what this problem is from your description. I would recommend rebooting your system to see if that fixes it. If not, make sure you have the latest service pack for 2007 installed. If that doesn't work, see if the problem happens in a different database file. This is one of those things that's difficult to troubleshoot remotely.
