There are two possible causes for forms to fill the whole page or look weird. Both are generally easy to fix.
The first case is that the form takes up all of the Access window and is a result of a common error. Itis caused by Maximizing the current window using the control found in the upper right of every Windows window (see figure immediately below). This is most commonly seen when using Print Preview to view an Access Report and then zooming in to enlarge it and then forgetting to Restore [it] Down (shwon in second image below). it. This can happen with any Access form so make sure you Restore after Maximizing!
The second case is a little more complicated, but is still easy to fix. Your forms, tables, etc. will show up as Tabs in the Access window. This make the many form look strange and hard to see their data . An example of tabbed Access windows are shown below.
To correct this, on the Access menu in the upper left (shown above) click on File and then on Options at the bottom left. In the Access Options form that opens (shown below), click on Current Database and change the setting for the Document Window Options from Tabbed Documents to Overlapping Windows. Click OK to return to Access.
Note you must Exit all Access programs and restart them to apply this change. You can restart by simply opening Enviro Data.
