Form (right and bottom) margins?

When in design view, if I place controls right up against the right
and bottom edges of a form, when in form view there is a margin
between those controls and the right and bottom edges. Resizing the
form just creates a scroll bar; the margin remains.
How do I remove this margin? I have limited screen real estate to use
and these margins are a considerable pain.

Margins are determined by the page settings, not in design view. If your intent
is to print right to the edge of the paper, note that Access honors your printer
driver's minimum margin settings and will not allow you to set a margin that
your printer will not support. Unless you have a photo printer it is unlikely
that you can print to the edges anyway.

Also note that forms are really not very good for printing. That is what
reports are for.
