My forms takes up too much space and I can't make it smaller!

Hi Everyone!



I'm having trouble with the sizing of my forms as of late. When I create a new form, edit the coloration, and add some text, I test how it will look in 'form view'. Ideally I want it to look like a small blue box with my title text and eventually some buttons to navigate my database. However, my 'little' blue box takes over the entire viewing area and is quite ugly looking with its massive blue margins.

Does anyone have any tips on how to turn my giant blue box form into a neat and tidy form?

I think it should be mentioned that I have edited the actual form size in design view, but this sizing seems to be ignored when I go into form view.

Sincerely,

Wes

In File/Options/Current Database make sure Overlapping Windows is selected rather than Tabbed.
