Cant change Size of form (Access 2007)

[paul.schrum]

I am familiar with Access 2003 and new to Access 2007. I am using
Access 2007.

I have created a form and the size seems to be stuck at Maximized
(within the tab), I can live with tabs if I have no alternative, but
I would rather have a 2003 look and feel; i.e., no tabs.

Assuming I have to live with tabs, let me continue.

The form, as I said before, is stuck on maximized. When I set various
properties in ways that I think would give me a normal (not maximized,
not minimized) resizeable form with nothing changes. It insists on
staying maximized.

I suspect there is something new in Access 2007 out of the box which
must switched or taken into account somehow, but I do not know what it
is.

Can someone explain this to me? How can I get a regular old form just
like most other VBA applications give us without any extra knowledge?

Thanks in advance.

Isn't it great how the new UI saves us from having to dig down several
layers to find stuff, huh? :-/

Ha ha, Brendon, so true. If I had a nickel for every time this
question came up...

And please don't even mention the ribbons.

Thanks Brendon. I figured it was something that was commonly asked.
I just could not figure out a good way to search the groups to find it
quickly.
