• Resizing the Data Entry Form

  There are two methods for resizing your data entry form. One method is to simply use your computer mouse to "drag" the form to the dimensions you want. The other method is to edit the Width and Height options on the Form property page.

• Setting Form Position on the Screen

  You may want to ensure that each time the data entry form appears it is in the same location of the monitor screen, it appears in the position a user last moved it to, or it opens in full screen mode. These options are all available using the data entry form's Form property page.

• Changing the Form's Background

  You can change the appearance of your data entry form very quickly by simply changing its color or "fill" appearance. Using the Color option, you can select a standard color, create a custom color, or even create a gradient or add a pattern, texture, or picture as the background of the data entry form.
