[AccessD] Jumping Screen

When my forms jump around like that it is often because I have left a toolbar active which has to be 
removed by Access / windows.  Make sure that every form has all toolbars unchecked at design time 
before you save them  Then open and maximize.  If there are any toolbars, Access opens the form with 
the toolbar, then removes the toolbar and resizes.  Lots of jumping around.
