Squished Form

[Guest]

Hey....On startup, I have a form which opens minimized within the main Access
window. Upon restoring the window, the form is "squished up" smaller than
its true size.

Settings for the form are:
AutoResize TRUE
PopUp FALSE
Modal FALSE
Style THIN

Thank you.

I would try changing border style to sizable.
Run the file so you get the squished form. Resize, go to design view, and
check the size of the form again and save.

Open the file again, if the form stays that the size needed, change to thin
at that stage.

If it is really being a pain and not going to the right size and you want it
at a precise location and size, use

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.MoveSize 5470, 550, 8000, 8300

For more info use the help in the vb window by pressing F1 with the cursor
on the MoveSize command.

Thank you. What is weird, though, is when the dialog opens normal and then
is minimized manually or programatically, it works fine. It only squishes up
when it is opened as an icon directly for some reason.
