I'm new to Access 2007 and I'm sure this is easily sorted and I'm just being
stupid!

All of my forms and reports are maximised across the entire screen and there
isn't a button to minimise them. I want to view them at the actual size that
I've specified in their design, in their own window. Any ideas??

Tray:

That is called the new Tabbed format. To change it to what you are used to,
take a look at my little quick tutorial here:

Forms don't maximize by themselves. You may have DoCmd.Maximize in the
code behind the form. The new "Fit to Screen" property may give the
appearance of a maximized form. Also make sure "Auto Resize" is set
to True.

Tom:

What he's talking about is the new tabbed format in Access 2007. It
actually does maximize, essentially, taking up all of the width of the screen
automatically without you having to change anything, or have any code behind
it. If you look at the link I gave the original poster you will see what we
are talking about.

Great - that's exactly what I was attempting to describe in my original post.
Thanks for the solutions - it's just what I was looking for.
