Default Fields Positioned At Bottom of the Form

There must be some form property I don't understand.

On a single column form, in Design View:
- the first field is positioned at a .1" vertical position
- the form looks like I want it to
- there is no form footer

When I open the form, either clicking View from Design view, or closing and
opening it again, the first field is positioned such that the last field is
right at the bottom. If I add a footer, the fields move up the height of the
footer. While I could position it how I want by a footer set by trial and
error, this seems like a bandaid. I suspect I've accidentally changed a
property that is in essence "bottom-justifying" the fields within the
available space.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Sprinks

I can't make out what you are describing. What is a single-column form? Do
you mean a form in datasheet view, or what exactly? What do you mean by "the
first field is positioned such that the last field is right at the bottom"?
Are you referring to record order? More information, please.
