Control box property weird behaviour ?!?

I removed the control boxes from all my forms but now I've decided I need
them after all. However, even though I set the property back to YES, the
control box does not appear on all my forms, only some of them.
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?

Right above the Control Box option is the Boarder option. Is it set to None
on the forms that don't have a Control Box? This will also cause the title
bar of the form to disappear.

that is set to 'sizable. I am opening these forms in Dialog mode if that
makes a difference.

You could try it in other than dialog mode and see what happens. However, if
I open a form in dialog mode, it still has the control box. Also, if I set
its Popup property (Other tab) to Yes, I still get a control box. The only
two things I found that would get rid of the control box were setting the
Control Box property to No or setting the Border property to None.

Have you tried creating a new mdb file and importing the objects into it?
