creating forms

[stainless steel]

Hi
I am still a little new at access. Now I have created a form. but I want to
do it so when I click on the form from the navigation pane it will just pop
up and open right in the center of the form. Right now the form will open but
it will look like it is attach to the navigation pane with a little black
arrow at the top left, right at the navigation pane. How can I get rid of the
arrow nd for form to just pop up and and open in the center.

If anyone understand what I am trying to say, can I get some help Please????

Click the windows button, select access options bottom right of menu,
current database, change tabed forms to overlapping windows.

You can get rid of the little arrow by setting the RecordSelectors
property of the form to no.

You can open the form in the center of the screen by setting the Form
AutoCenter property to Yes, when you have overlapping windows. You
also may need a DoCmd.Restore in your form OnOpen or OnActivate event
procedure.

Another thing you can play with is the form PopUp and Modal
properties. Try setting these both to yes to see if this is the kind
of result you want.

Hope this helps,
