Default Stumped on 2007 Form Style .vs. 2003

Ok, I have a form in a 2003 mdb (running under 2007 Access) that is just
fine. When I import it (or create a new on) in a 2007 accdb, I can neither
stop the area around the form from being the same color as the form and, nor
put a border around the form. What am I doing wrong - or better yet, what oh
what have those fools at Microsoft gone and done now?

OK, I figured out some of it. By changing from tabbed to overlapping windows
put the border on it, but now I can't change the size of the form with the
width property. Now what do I do? Thanks.

And I figured out the rest. Putting Auto Center and Auto Resize both to Yes
fixed it. Does anyone actually like the new default tabbed forms that fill
out the whole window???
