Minimised Data Objects (ViP Specific)

Sometimes I have found that when I minimise a data object in design I cannot find it when I want to amend it. This seems to happen fairly often with data objects that were created in VIP 1.1 ( I am now using v2.5). Is there any way of retrieving these data objects.

I presume that the problem is that other objects are in front of, and obscuring, the minimized data object. It is of course your choice about where you place objects.
There is no "simple" way to find an obscured object. However, if you right-click on the large objects in the front, and select "Send to Back", then eventually any obscured object will appear in the front. You can edit it at will then, and then return the objects to their original order with "Bring to Front"

The presumption that the dataobjects are obscured is not correct. The particular data objects that I have problems with just disappear. They always seem to be ones created in v1.1. I think that they probably minimise at an address that is around -60 or lower.
