My guess would be that your forms are still opening as 'tabs' instead of forms.
Try to change this to see if that is what you are looking for. Take the
following steps:

Open Access
Choose Access options (Office button - below right)
Choose Current Database from the left menu
On the right look for 'Document Window options'
This is probably set to 'tabbed documents'
check the radiobutton in front of 'Overlapping Windows'
Restart Access

You should be seeing forms instead of tabs (which is the default for 2007)
