Viewable Form Size

[Hey Lucy]

Stupid question with what I'm sure is an easy answer....

When I open my form in form view, how do I keep the right side from going all the way across my screen? I guess what I'm asking is is there a way to set the form size. I don't need my header color, etc going all the way across.

Thanks!

I don't use tabbed forms.
I use Overlapping Windows.
This is found under File,Options,Current Database, Document Window Options.

Thanks for your response. I'm not familiar with overlapping windows. Could you elaborate? Thanks

 

[Hey Lucy]

Oops...jumped the gun on asking about overlapping windows. Went in there and did it and now I see. Thanks for your help!

Any time.

Glad to help.

Basically, using Overlapping Windows makes Forms function/display as they did in the pre-2007 versions of Access, which gives the developer more control over Forms. Like Dale, I never use the Default 'Tabbed Documents;' wish there was a simple way to make Overlapping Windows the default.
