Access Toolbox and Form Size

[Guest]

Hello. I am in charge of modifying a database that someone else created a
while ago in Access 2002. First thing I noticed was that when I went to
Design View on the main form, it absolutely will not display the Toolbox. I
try accessing it through the View menu, but it is grayed out and I can't
activate it. I also tried adding it to the Toolbar, and it's still grayed
out. Any ideas on this one?

I got frustrated with that so I exported all the tables/forms/queries, etc
to a new database. On this new one I can view the Toolbox, but when I open
the main form in Form view, it automatically "maximizes" the window. I want
it to be just a certain size and have gone through all the properties and I
can't figure it out.

Please help! Thank you in advance!!

Sonny, strip the data and send it to me...I'll send it back modified.
Sometimes access designers get carried away with control issues. Clearly the
properties have been modified...and you might have an autoexec macro doing
the maximizing, or a code behind the form.
