Resizing controls

[Guest]

I am working with Access 2007. When I try to resize one of the controls, all
of the controls resize to the size of the one that I am working with. How
can I separate the controls so that I can resize them individually? I never
encountered this problem with Access 2003.

There is a setting that you need to change, to change it from "tabbed form"
to "overlapping."

See my "quick tutorial" on my website here:

Laura,

Select the controls (in designview) -> go to the tab "Arrange" -> go to the
group "Control layout" and choose -> Remove.

Deselect the controls and you'll be able to move and resize the controls
seperately.

I followed these instructions but the controls remain in tabbed form. When I
opened this window I found that the "Overlapping Windows" button was already
selected. I, therefore, tried to select the "Tabbed Documents" button, close
the database, open it, select the "Overlapping Windows" button, close it and
open it again. This did not work either.

This worked! Thanks so much!
