overlapping forms not working

[Elohelae]

Good afternoon

I have inherited a database where the forms do not open in windowed mode but open full screen. I have to click the restore window to make any form windowed again.

I have been to the options, current database screen and I am set to overlap windows, however, nothing I am doing is allowing the windows where the window fits the form size. My version of access is 2010 and the default file format is 2007.

Any help appreciated to get to the windowed screen would be appreciated

if setting = tabbed documents, then you cannot get a 'windowed' (overlap) look.
Every individual pc has their own settings, the default = overlap.
Make sure their Access is set to overlap.

Alsi check if there is a code on each forms open or load event that maximised the form.

thank you for the responses.

the Issue was that the creator had used macros to open the forms from buttons and I had missed the single line which said "maximized" in each macro.

thank you for the assistance
