[AccessD] Ac2013 startup form

 You should be able to open it hidden, do a MoveSize operation, then make it
visible to get it where you want.

 Also don't forget about auto size and center.

Apparently changing border style from sizeable to dialog solved the problem
with size. Now if I could just get positioning to work without the
intervention of VBA/macros?
