I have been searching but cannot find and answer to this. I have a form created in Access 2000 that is not a pop-up and when it opens it does so in the center of the sceeen. I can move it around, resize, maximize, minimize and restore without problems. I was recently forced to upgrade to 2007 and luckily these forms still perform as before.

However I am trying to create another form in a new database in 2007 and the form defaults to maximized. I can change the pop-up property, however I lose the ability to switch to design view from form view. I have to close it and reopen it in design view. Very irritating. I tried to change the moveable property to yes however it will not let me change it. The border style is set to sizeable. Auto center and resize are both yes and fit to screen is no. I have all control box buttons enable.

Short of coding me!moveable = true into the on open event is there a way to change my forms so that they do not default to maximized?
 
I found it. In the Access Options - Current Database you have to change the Document Window Options from Tabbed Documents to Overlapping Documents.
