_______________________________________________________________________________________ Note: This e-mail is subject to the disclaimer contained at the bottom of this message. _______________________________________________________________________________________ This issue was one of the first things I didn't like in Access 2007. The forms would often poorly fit, like you had purchased a 2nd hard suit that sort of did the job, but you (and everyone else) could tell it just didn't fit quite right. I am not using Access 2010 at this stage, so cannot comment, but a lot of the forms needs some tweaking for 2007. I hated Access 2007 so much it put me off Access altogether. I have office 2010 (sans Outlook - now use thunderbird, and Access - trying to use SQL Server Express and VS) and it is a much nicer product.

I've not had any problems, but then... I wouldn't. I'm not running any comprehensive custom apps other than a small run I use to track my own work and invoice. It runs fine in 2010, although, I don't run it in 2010 much because it was designed in 2003 and it just looks a tad funky -- you'll want to check the way your forms, etc. load and look in 2010 -- there are some issues there. They seldom fit just right without a little adjusting.
