    Freezing the Header of a form in overlapping tabs instead of tabbed documents

    Very basic Access user here, just have a simple question ideally. I have a form (frmMain) which has a header with some basic links and text boxes I would like to keep as a frozen pane on top as the user are scrolling down the detail section of the form. The detail section does include a subform if that makes a difference (frmhome). When going to Options>Current Database> tabbed documents, the form header stays frozen perfectly.

    I however would like to use "Overlapping windows" as the form center aligns in the Access window instead of left aligning when using "tabbed". So either :

    1) how do I keep the header frozen in "overlapping" or

    2) how do I center align the form in "tabbed" view, as right now the form just wants to go as far left as possible in the full Access window.

    There are 2 form types: Continuous and Single Form. A continuous form type keeps the header in place at top and visible.

    Overlapping windows is considered stylistically out of date - but remains available as an option - go to the File tab; Options: Current Database

    Overlapping is 100% and there is no method for a common header between 2 overlapping forms.

    Center align of the form object itself is not possible - and begs the question as to what would then be to left of center? - one would need to manually adjust the controls of the form to align in the center for that affect.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
