Resizing a form

I would like a small form [a menu form] to appear in the centre of the screen.However the form expands to fill the whole screen.
I have set Auto centre to 'yes' and reduced the size of the form to just more than the width of the three buttons on the form but it still fills the screen.
Help would be much appreciated

You didn't say; however, it sounds like you are in ACC2010.

In access 2010 the default is the tabbed view.
You'll need to go into file/options/ and change the view for the current database from tabbed to tile.

OR

You call the form as popup and modal... this can cause issues with your code execution.

Thank you - the 'tabbed to tile' worked fine
