In older versions of Access my forms opened according to their size in the property sheet. In MS Access 365 they seem to open full screen no matter what I do. I have looked at every setting that is supposed to affect this and I can't get them to open the way they used to. There are no scroll bars even thought that property is on. Appreciate someone who can explain how I get them to work like they used to.

Perhaps:
<File> <Options> <Current Database> Select "Overlapping Windows" rather than "Tabbed Documents"
If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation. Many thanks.

Tried your suggestion but my form still opens full screen. Thanks for the quick response, though.

Upload the DB with enough to see the issue.

I was unable to upload the database - said it was too big. I created a new DB and it worked fine. Compared all the form properties and made them the same. My old DB now works as I expect. Weird thing is I went back and changed the form properties back to what they were and it still opens in the size I specify so I have no idea what fixed it. Overlapping windows definitely need though so thanks.

You probably didn't zip your file as is usually required? For next time, see "How to attach files" at the top of the page.
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
Paraphrase of Professor Brian Cox.
Access size limit , Any options to prevent reaching its file size limits?
Have a form of a specific size display in that size rather than the whole work area
