form sizing in 365

In the beginner lessons Rick talks about how when you resize a form and save it, Access will remember it and always open it to that size unless you save it again at a different size. I am not having that same experience with 365. How can I get my forms to open to the saved size each time I open them?

Try saving it in design mode? John

Hi Tim Also check your form settings Auto Resize, Fit to screen and Auto Center. You probably should set each to NO John

I tried saving in design view but that did not work. I could not find an 'Auto Resize' in settings anywhere. It is not just forms, it is tables and queries as well. I have to resize them every time I open them.

Open the Property Sheet for the Form. Auto Resize is on the Format tab.

Thank you Kevin, That worked.

Tables and queries do their own thing. You can't control where they open or their size. That's why we use Forms. :)

Thank you Richard, I truly appreciate your help.
