[AccessD] Access 2007 form design - setting the popup size

Dan's was the correct answer.

In 2003 and before, in design view, the forms did not arrange themselves as tabs in the design 
window.  There was no such paradigm.  That is now the default apparently.

In order to really change the form size (popup) we had to view the form in view mode, then exit to 
design view and resize, view again in view mode, back to design view etc.  Simply resizing in view 
mode and saving might (but probably wouldn't) actually save your changes.
