[AccessD] Irritating Interface Problem

Thank you for your efforts on my part. I know about tiling the windows, but
my question really is how to a change the default window size/position? If
it is possible at all. <g>

One odd thing is that when I open a table (any table) I first of all see the
empty MDE window, and it fits nicely inside the Access container window, for
a second. Then the column headings and the nav buttons are added and the
window resized so that the bottom two or three rows, plus the nav buttons
are just below the edge of the window.

It woud be real nice if I did not have to adjust the position everytime, or
tile the windows everytime etc. I'd just like it to open us so I can see all
four sides of the MDE window.
