All my forms occupy the entire Access window.
Is it possible to reduce its size and occupy just a portion of the Access window?

Apparently your forms are maximized within the Access window.

I don’t know how it works in Access 2007, but in earlier versions you can restore a form window:

HansV,
That’s exactly my forms are missing in Access 2007.

Open a form in design view.
Activate the Format tab of the Properties window.
Look at the Min Max Buttons property – it should be set to Both Enabled.

Hi HansV,
Actually I did. It appears to be default.
Still the Max & Min buttons are missing.

Can you restore the form by double-clicking its title bar?

If not, it’s probably something specific to Access 2007; I can’t help you with that since I don’t have that version.

HansV,
I’m always grateful for your efforts in helping me.
By luck, I discover a solution. In the Access Options dialog box, select Current database and click Overlapping Windows option.
Thanks again for your help.
