Hiding Property Window

 

Hiding Property Window. From Microsoft Access 2000 onward (I think, although don’t quote me), if you have the ‘Properties’ window open when the form is in Design view and you change to Normal view, the property window remains displayed. This can sometimes be a nuisance for you when you are building the database and you would definitely not want this to occur if you are distributing your database to other users.

To make sure this does not happen:

With the form in ‘Design’ view;

Open the ‘Properties’ window of the form by right clicking in the upper left hand corner of the form; where the two rulers meet, and select ‘Properties’ from the drop down list;

Click on the ‘Other’ tab. The last property will be ‘Allow Design Changes’, change this to ‘Design View Only’.

Now the ‘Properties’ window will only appear when the form is in ‘Design’ view.

Hope this tip on 'Hiding Property Window' is helpful.
