    Form Display

    Hello guys,



    I was wondering when you open up a database to not make it full size. I know how to hide the ribbon and the menus. But I don't want the form of the database to be that big when I only have a certain number of buttons on it. I was wondering on how whenever someone opens the database it is only the size to fit a certain area.

    Thanks

    One approach is to option the form to be a Pop Up form - which is a property.

    Could also go into OPTIONS and select "Overlapping Windows" instead of "Tabbed Documents".

    I really hate "Tabbed Documents".

    Okay cool, but how do I make it so that just the form is showing when you open up the database in that pop up view? And to have it open up in the same size always?
