Pop up form

[Cindy]

Hi, I made my form a pop up, saved and exited. Now I'd like to reverse this but the Form Design Tools Ribbon does not appear. How do I get the Property sheet for the form at this stage Could someone please advise?

Have you re-opened the form in Design View?

 

[Cindy]

I'm not able to do that either. It is greyed out

What version of Access are you using?

 

[Cindy]

version 2010

Over to the left side of your screen, just below the ribbon, can you see a grey bar with an icon like >> at the top?

If so, click on the >> and it will open the Objects pane, which you can then scroll down until you find your form (hopefully you know the name of the form?), where you can right click on the form icon and select Design View from there.

phew! many thanks!

Have you set options like hide navigation pane? and set your popup form as the form to display on opening the db?

If so, then close the db then reopen, holding down the shift key as you click on the db

hey CJ. No I haven't yet but that's the look that I'm aiming for. Thanks
