    Moveable Property in Access 2007

    What would make this property unchangeable? I have 8 forms in my database and I can only have 2 of them that can be moveable. I thought it might have been a settings issue so I created a new form in a new database and the same thing happens.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Every form has a Movable property on the lower portion of the Format tab of the property sheet of the form.

    Yes I know this, but it will not change from No to Yes.

    I'm sorry, I did not understand the issue properly. Have you switched from Overlapping forms to Tabbed forms?

    If I have I didn't do it on purpose. I am not sure how to switch between the two. I did a search in the help file and my Access bible but I could not find what you mentioned. You might have to dumb it down a little for me. lol

    Is this a global setting? I cannot change this option in any database even a new one just created.

    Thanks for the help.

    Ok this issue has been solved. You have to change the Pop Up function to Yes to be able to change the Moveable function to Yes.

    Thanks for the help.
