I'm wondering if I'm the only one having problems saving the size of access
2007 overlapping forms.
I decided to play around with a copy of my db and changed it from a tabbed
to overlapping interface.
I posted a question about this some time ago and the following is a response
that I had saved to a
text file:
-----------
'The forms border should be set to sizeable. You then while viewing the form
in regular view mode then set the size exactly the way you want. You then
hit ctrl-s. I also assumed that in design mode you shrunk down the detail
size to as small as possible).

Ok, so while in form view mode we have our size set and now hit ctrl-s. You
now flip form into design mode, and then change border style from sizeable
to thin. Now close the form.

However, before you do ANY of the above, make sure your settings are:

Auto center = yes (this does not matter either way)
Auto re-size = no
Fit to screen = no'
-----------------
Following these instructions it didn't work on a split form.
I found that the right border of the form was actually 17"... that's right
17 inches off
the right side of my screen. And I'm not exaggerating! After I opened the
form I placed
my mouse pointer at the right edge of the screen and on the caption bar of
the form. I then
dragged the from to the left until I was able to see the right boarder of
the form.
I then got my tape measure and measured the distance between the right
border and the
position of my mouse pointer. It was 17 inches!!!

Any idea why this is do difficult to do in AC 2007??

I guess I have no other choice but go with tabbed forms. It's a shame.
