Hi John,

Go to File | Options | Current Database

On that page you'll see a radio button selection for 'Overlapping Windows'
or 'Tabbed Documents'.  Select 'Overlapping Windows'.

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

In the olden days you would size the form in design view and save, then when
it popped up it would be that size.  My problem is that I do not know how to
get the form to be a floating window so that I can see the size and resize /
save it.  It insists on docking all four sides in design view.  
Further I cannot find the properties which would set that size in order to
set it manually.

Any help greatly appreciated,
