Specify whether a user can move or resize a form or report

You can prevent a user from moving or resizing a form in Form and Datasheet views. Similarly, you can prevent a user from moving or resizing a report in print and preview modes.

1. Open the form or report in Design view.
2. Double-click the form selector or report selector to open the property sheet.
3. Do one or both of the following:

   To prevent a user from moving a form or report, set the Movable property box to No.

   To prevent a user from resizing a form or report, set the BorderStyle property to None, Thin, or Dialog.

Notes

• If the Movable property is set to No, the Min, Max, and Close buttons on the form or report window, if present, will continue to work. The user will be able to size the window, unless the BorderStyle property has been set to a value other than Sizable. The user will also be able to tile the window.

• The Movable property is not available for reports in Microsoft Access 2000 or earlier.
