Setting Properties - Design View vs Form View
Hi Simon,
You can use 1) in the onOpen event. So, for all practical points of view,
the end effect will be the same. You can also open the form in design view
by programation, and CreateControl or modify them (that is how the wizards
do, but this is a little bit "slow"):
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acDesign
Hope it may help,
