Centre form and open it as an individual window centerd in the screen

[aaragon]

Hi,
one of my colleague send me a copy of a log-in form in access 2007 format, I did some changes and adapted it to my database in access 2010 format. The issue is that when my colleague opens his form it appears centered on the screen a small box (see doc1) it´s perfect!!. However when I open the form, appears a big form (see doc2) and the fields appear in the top left corner, in the same databe......I suppose that this is related with format properties, but I have been not able to find it..
Can you please help me? ...


Thanks,
Ana

Try Going to the Property Sheet for the Form [You should see 'Selection Type: Form' in the Property Sheet].
Then go to 'Other'.
Set 'Pop Up' to Yes.
If that works for you - you can play with the Size and Position properties of the Form.

Let us know if this works.

You need to change a project setting. Click File Tab > Options > Current Database > set Document Window Options to Overlapping Windows.
