Sounds like the Document Window Options is set to the default of 'Tabbed Documents.' Changing this option to Overlapping Windows basically causes many things in Form Design to act like they did pre-2007, including, I suspect, being able to make the adjustment you desire. Not sure exactly where to look for this option, in v2010 (the 'Boys of Redmond' appear to enjoy changing some very basic items, like the Office Suites' Office Button or Windows 'Start' Button, just for the heck of it!) but in v2007 you'd
- Go to Office Button (Big Icon, Top/Left)
- Click on Access Options (bottom, right of Dialog Box)
- Click on Current Database
- Under Document Window Options tick Overlapping Windows
- Click on OK (Bottom, Right)
- Close the Messagebox, then Close and Re-open Access

The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
