Moveable Form

[PatK]

In Access 2003, when I created a new form, I could set the width of it, and
make it "moveable" on the screen.

In 2007, when I create a new form, no matter what I do, not matter the width
it appears during design, when i go to Form View, it is always 100% of the
width of the screen. Further, when I click the form property box (upper
left) and view the properties of the form, the Moveable option has a drop
down for Yes or No, but even if I choose Yes, it reverts immediately to know.


Very disconcerting as I am attempting to make smaller forms that do not take
up the full screen. I am sure this is something REALLY dumb I do not know
how to do in 2007, so looking for a poobah out there who can show me the
error of my ways.

Thanks,
Patk

How documents are displayed, in separate windows or in a tabbed view, is an
option of Access 2007, with the default set to "tabbed view". I can't
remember off the top of my head exactly where the setting is, but if you
click the Office button and choose Access Options, you should be able to
find it. I think it's in the Current Database options, but I could be
wrong.
