Issue with form automatically resizing when another form is opened and closed.

[juddymar58]

I have a clients database which has a strange issue. When I go into one of the forms (frmMaintenanceMenu) and then view other forms from this and close them (sms log in sample provided) it resizes frmMaintenanceMenu and any other open forms (they appear like a popup rather than taking up the whole screen). I’m reluctant to change the database options to Tabbed Documents as it will affect other areas of the database. Just wondering how I can stop this? I have a feeling its a property but cant seem to resolve it (even after googling and adjusting form settings). I have attached a sample access file with a couple of forms so you can see what I mean.
Thanks

Ok. open your access database.
* Click on the office Button (top left side colored button).
* Select Access options.
* Current Databse.
* On the right side of the page look for "Document Window option",
the option Overlaping windows will be selected.

Now just select the option "Tabbed Documents"

save it and restart your database...

Hi, thanks for the reply LittleMaster. I managed to resolve it.
There was something wrong with the main form (frmMaintenanceMenu) I recreated this form and it seems to have fixed the issue. I couldn't use the tabbed documents option as it was going to cause issues with other forms in the database.
Thanks
