This began a few days ago.

When I’m working in design view (form or report), after a few minutes the mouse pointer in design view no longer changes: I’m stuck with the default arrow pointer.  This means that, although I can click/select controls, I can no longer resize controls or the object.

I can’t even use the horizontal splitter in design view (although the vertical splitter dividing the navigation pane from the design pane still works).

Simply closing the object and re-opening it doesn’t fix it (and any further objects opened in design view are similarly afflicted).  The only way I’ve found of fixing it is to close Access and re-open – until it happens again!

Help!  This is driving me nuts!
