Access 2010: Forms Filling Up Screen Even With Fit to Screen Turned Off

[larrytxeast]

As I mentioned in the "introduction" post, I'm back at designing a simple database, in Access 2010, over the weekend after years of being dormant in that regard, and I'm finding it difficult to do some very basic things.

This post regards form sizing: a simple form I'm creating, it is making it way too huge to where it fills up the screen, and even when I turn off "auto resize" or "fit to screen" or whatever, even though I have it small in design view, in form view it is still extremely huge, and I can't even manage to grab hold of the border dialog to resize it. No matter what I do, it is bound and determined to make this form as big as a house, and nothing I do can get around it.

Tips?

Look in File/Options/Current Database and check the window option or whatever it's called. You want windows rather than tabbed documents.

Thanks, that did it. How do I mark the question "solved?"

Happy to help! If you edit the thread, you can change the prefix to solved.
