[AccessD] Irritating Interface Problem

Lambert,

This is very simplistic, but . . .

Open the table and readjust to the size you want.  Then add and remove a
field comment or some other innocuous thing.  Then push the save button
to save the table.  Then see if the table reopens at the new size you
wanted.

This works for queries, maybe it will work for tables.

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.
