Access 2010 Continuous Web Forms that are created with Overlapping Windows display only one record at a time and cannot be resized

In Microsoft Access 2010, when you create a Continuous Web Form that has Overlapping Windows, the form displays only one record at a time, and the form cannot be resized.

This behavior is by design. By default, Web Forms are created with�BorderStyle set to Dialog. The BorderStyle cannot be changed on a Web Form.

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Change from Overlapping Windows to Tabbed Windows

1. On the�File menu, click Options.
2. Click�Current Database in the navigation page (left pane), select the Tabbed Documents option in the Document Window Options area, and then click OK.

Method 2: Use VBA to increase the InsideHeight property of the form

1. Open the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor. To do this, use the Ctrl+G keyboard shortcut.
2. In the Immediate Window, type the following syntax, and then press ENTER:
   forms("<form name>").InsideHeight = 2 * forms("<form name>").InsideHeight
   Note When you apply this change, the form's height is doubled.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Start Access 2010.
2. Create a Blank web database.
3. On the File menu, click Options.
4. In the�Access Options dialog box, select Current Database , and then click to select the Overlapping Windows check box. Click OK.
5. Close and reopen the database.
6. Create a table that has four rows of data.
7. Save and close the table.
8. From the�Create tab on the ribbon, click Multiple Items from the Forms group that is based on the table.

Notice that a continuous form is created. But the form only displays one record at a time, and the form cannot be resized.
