Hello Friends. I am Prabha Karan from Thanjavur (South India). Recently I explored the all the options found in an access form’s format category in the properties dialog. Most of the options are already familiar to me but the Control Box property. I don’t know what the use of that property is. But the status bar says that this property shows the control menu if put yes. Also I encountered a bizarre behavior that if we put no in its property, the close button in the form disappears. I heard about file menu, view menu and some other advanced menus too. But not Control menu. After searching for it a while I also did not found any menus like it in the access interface. But I definitely believe people here definitely crossed this before and hope they will explain it and its usage scenarios too. Thanks in advance.

This is not bizarre behaviour, it's the exact behaviour that you should expect. The control box contains the min/max button, the restore button, and the close button. Setting the property to No hides this object.
