Hi - being a bit dim here I just made a simple form set it high and width to
fairly small set min max buttons to both, border to thin, control box to yes
but on running it fills the screen and no min max buttons.

What am I missing.

Allen,

Could it be that your forms are still set to 'tabbed' forms and you are
looking for windowed forms. If that might be the case you can adjust this as
follows:

Office button -> access options -> current database -> check the radio
button which states "overlapping windows".

Close acces and start access again see if it get's the result you are
looking for.

Do you mean that it is still maximized? Did you write any code to open the
form or did you just use the design properties of the form.

Try to give a liitle more info about the form so we can try to mimic it so
we can search for a solution...
