How to: Activate the Database window.
Solution:
If the Database window is open but not active, select the 'Window' menu and select the name of the database. If the Database window is hidden, use the 'Unhide...' command in the 'File' or the 'Window' menu.

1) If the Database window is already open but not active:
a) Select the 'Window' menu.

2) If the Database window is hidden:
a) Do one of the following:
1] If there are no other open windows, select the 'File' menu and select 'Unhide...'. (The Unhide Window dialog box appears.)
