I have noticed that when I am working on a form in LiveCycle and want to view it to see how it may appear/function in the pdf format my Acrobat opens up instead the simple viewing ability of LiveCycle. This is a change. Any comment and or guidance?

What you see in LiveCycle isn't a simple viewer. It's the full Acrobat. However, when I'm working on a LiveCycle form, I prefer to save it first, and then open it in the "stand-alone" Acrobat Pro. It's a bit longer of a process, two steps as opposed to one, but as you say, you can see how the user will experience it.

Thank You for responding. It is strange that it never really did that. I do understand about going to view in Acrobat but, I seems strange that now it will not. When I go under "view" it does not give me the option to view. Only in the Acrobat (main) program can I view my form. I can live with it but, I do not know what I did. Again, thank you responding.
