Newbie -Display forms etc outside main window

[Mark Phillips]

Hi guys
How can I get Access 2k (on XP) to allow me to drag form / design/
table windows outside the main Access window? Properties windows can
be anywhere on my desktop but it's a pain to have to maximise the
Access window just to see a whole design, especially when there's
other stuff on the desktop I need to use simultaneously.

TIA
Mark

You can't. Forms in normal view that have Popup set true can be positioned
outside the main window, but nothing can do this while in design view AFAIK.

You can't. Sorry!

Guys
Thanks for the rapid response. Looks like it's time for a higher
resolution monitor and thicker specs!

Dual monitors. Much better.

Dual monitors. Much better.

I'll have to invest in a bigger desk!
