    Alternate Forms

    While searching for various things to help me convert an Excel workbook to Access 2007 I came across this




    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/fo...osize-property

    The problem here isn't that the information doesn't apply to Access, but that it applies to a feature of Access -- Microsoft Office Forms -- that isn't commonly used, and that is easily confused with another feature of Access that *is* commonly used. You see, all MS Office programs including Access may use these kinds of forms, but in other Office programs such as Word or Excel, they are the only kind of forms available. Access has its own forms that are much superior, so one wouldn't normally use the MS Office forms -- but they're still there.

    Does this mean I can use an Excel Style Form in Access, and if so, how is is done?

    Never used forms in Excel, so what feature are you looking for that isn't available in native Access forms?

    Apart from finding Access Forms so hard to work with (compared to Excel) you can't scroll a Frame. If (And I don't know this)
    'Microsoft Office Forms" are are those used in Excel and they can be used, it would make a Excel-Access conversion that much easier.
    I've since done a pretty thorough search on Google and there's nothing to support that guys theory.

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