Info for all.

It's a 32-bit system. I'm pretty certain it was a Windows-based
problem because:

a) I created a brand new database with a brand new table and created
a brand new report based on the new table (nothing else in the
database). Same problem.
b) I uninstalled and re-installed Office 2010 a couple of times - no
change.
c) I have re-installed Windows XP, Office 2010 and the problem has
gone away. The original report that I was working with now opens in
design view exactly as it used to, as do all the others (well, the
ones I've tried anyway).

The guy that rang me has not rung back. If he was touting for
business he obviously hadn't done his research. I'm in Guernsey which
is a tiny island in the English Channel some 80 miles from England and
20 miles from France ... his was an international call so he'd have a
loooong way to travel if he intended to visit (let him have remote
access - no chance!)

Anyway, I'm up and running again. Only cost me the best part of a
day ...

Oh, and I've switched off Automatic Updates (which is the way I've
always worked except on my A2010 box ...)

Thanks for the responses.
