Pivot Chart and Pivot Tables disappearing field buttons and drop zones

Question

I recently installed Access 2010 on a brand new Dell computer (Vostro 460 running Windows 7).  I proceeded to open a previously created query as a Pivot Chart to discover no data on it.  The datasheet view shows data.  There are no drop zones nor field buttons.  The show/hide on the ribbon has no effect on the absent drop zones.  The show/hide on the Properties pop-up has no effect on the absent drop zones.

Tried creating a new blank database.  A new query will show the drop zones.  However, they disappear as soon as I drop a field on any of them, and they never come back.

Has anyone ever experienced and fixed this?

Answer 1

Ha Ha! the problem was licked by executing a program repair of Access 2010!

Answer 2
