Access 2003 - changing window sizes

[Tom Hall]

One minor annoyance with Access is that it seems to have its own ideas
about the size of windows it opens for the various views. I can reset the
window sizes as I open them, but as soon as I close them, the next time I
open them they have reverted to the size they were before.

I suspect that their size as determined by Access has something to do with
modifying their properties (report, table, etc), but so far I've been
unable to figure out how to set the windows to the sizes I want and make
them stay that way.

Is there a way to do this, and if so, can it be done without actually
changing anything in the database?

open the form in design view.
Make the size you want and position it where you want it.
Then save the form.

Make sure when the form is in design mode, you set the form's auto resize
property to no.

What I usually do is set the form's auto resize to no, set the border style
to sizable, then flip the form into actual view mode. You now size the form
exactly the way you want, hit control-s to save the form. Now flip back into
design mode, and change the border style from sizable to thin so users can't
chagne the size.

Try the above sequence of steps, and remember to turn off the forms auto
resize property.
