Is it set to maximize on Open? Or possibly you have another form opened maximized? Windows will then maximize everything unless you tell it not to. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "SteveZmyname" <SteveZmyname@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8080D6AE-91EA-49CF-B164-65004F78FF53@microsoft.com... > Hello > A newbie question...Why when I set my form size to 6 inches width in > design > view it fills the page in Form view?

Hello The min and max buttons are enabled in properties but they don't show on the form. Maximize on open I don't see anything for that property, blank. No other forms are open. I notice there isn't a ruler on the right edge of the form just a big blank to the right edge from the form to the frame of Access. That doesn't look right. thanks for the replies.

There has never been a ruler on the right side of a form or report, or for that matter in Word or Excel. Try disabling the Min and Max buttons. BTW, does this happen in the Northwind sample database? -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "SteveZmyname" <SteveZmyname@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:80EAC0FA-3219-4E7B-B16D-B2D75DB29F29@microsoft.com... > Hello > The min and max buttons are enabled in properties but they don't show on > the > form. > Maximize on open I don't see anything for that property, blank.

Thanks for any input! Are you using Access 2007? If so, the default document windowing option is to show forms and report previews in a tabbed view, which behaves as you describe. If you click on the Office button, then click "Access Options", then go to the Current Database tab of the options dialog, and change the Document Window Settings to "Overlapping Windows", you should get the normal windowed view. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup)
