Form size properties seem to have no effect.
I'm trying to make my project look a little more professional. I'm trying to experiment around with some of the form properties like auto center, auto resize, and fit to screen. I'm trying to figure out whether it will look better to have the forms always fill the screen or always remain one size, etc. For some reason none of these settings seem to have any effect on my form. My form always resizes itself to fit the screen no matter what the settings. What am I doing wrong? |

I suspect that you are using Access 2007 or 2010, and you have the database windowing option set to "tabbed documents" rather than "overlapping windows". Click the Office button, choose Access Options, go the Current Database tab, and you should see the option I'm talking about. You need to set it to "Overlapping Windows" for the form sizing to have any effect. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |

Your suspicions are correct. I'm using Access 2007. That fixed it! Thanks! |
