How do i get rid of the bar?

[mattpearcey]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the bar that appears on the left hand side of a form. That contains an arrow pointing right. It automatically opens and i have to click on the bar so i can view the rest of my first tab title. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thank you for your help already.

The form should have a property called record selectors or something - change it to false and they go away.

Got it! But....the first tab is called Introduction. And now you can only see troduction. So its missing some of the text. I have tried to sort around it but i cannot get it to see all of the text.

Any ideas? Thank you for your help already.

It sounds like either:

- your tab strip is too small for the text on the tab
A: increase the width of the tab strip or make it multirow

- your window is too small for the form
A: increase window size before saving form or make it autosize

Tried it, but cannot find the properties for the tab strip. And thus cannot make this bigger. The tabs do increase in size whenthe text increases. So on the other tabs, there is not a problem. It is just the First tab on the left. I have fiddled with the page size before, but with lots of people using it, and with them having varying monitor size, i think getting rid of the bar on the left is the best idea? any ideas about what i have not done? Thank you for your help already.

An easy way to get to the properties if they're hard to find is, in the form design view, click on the object list box. If you've just got the form open and nothing selected, it'll say form. It show a list of all the objects on your form. Find the one you're looking for and click the Properties button.
