Another team here has an old Access 2010 database that they need some reports pulled form. Creating the queries and reports is not a problem, but the interface is. Seems that when I open the 2010 databases, I don't see the Tabs when objects are opened. Normally not an issue, but I have to jump between various Queries and Tables to pick out what is needed. Is there a way to get it to view like 2013?

Starting with 2007 the Tabbed Documents is a database setting .

In the Access Options go to Current Database > Document Window Options > Tabbed Documents.

Warning: This is a global setting for all users that open the database.

This will reset the form size settings for overlapping forms.

There is also a Ribbon option for Switch Windows. I also at his to my QAT. That way I do not have to change to Tabb Documents and reset all the Overlapping Window size settings.
