    Form Overall Properites unavailable


    Using A2007. I don't know correct terminology for this question. In form design mode, there is usually a square to click on upper left screen that allows setting up properties for the whole form. Mine isn't showing anymore. Is there some way to get things back to normal without reloading the program? ( I already tried the CD repair feature ) Any help much appreciated.

    Thanks much. I am not sure how I undid that feature and not sure why such a thing is even possible. Thanks again for answer and for quick response.

    Disabling the rulers can make it easier to envision subform and subreport placements/spacing. Unfortunately it is an application setting so every db and every form/report reflects this.
