Open in Design Mode

Opens forms in Design Mode so that the form can be edited.

You cannot activate the controls of the form or edit contents of database records in Design Mode. However, you can change the position and size of the controls, edit other properties, and add or delete controls in Design Mode.

After you have finished editing your form, right-click "Forms" in the Form Navigator and deselect Open in Design Mode. Save your form when you are finished. If the form document is write-protected, the Open in Design Mode command is ignored.
