Annoying Form Resize

[Guest]

I am trying to set the size of a form but when I close the form and re-open
it, it goes smaller hiding some information.

The Auto Resize property is set to No.

How do I stop the form changing size?

Cheers,
Steve.

A few years ago, I lost several valuable clumps of my hair on this issue.
Here's my take on it.

If you have AutResize set to True, the form will size it's width acccording
to the width of your form in design view. If it's set to False, it will set
the width to the width you had when you last saved it in design view.
In terms of the height, it depends on whether or not you have the form set
to single form or continuous form. If it's single for view, the height is
saved the same as I described for the width (depends on autosize). If it's a
continuous form, the height (the number of detail records displayed), is
determined by the height when you last saved it in design view, regardless of
whether autosize is set to true or false.

I hope this helps,
Barry

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

It does help! I have always left the property set to false and have had
numerous attempts at getting my forms sized the way i want.

Setting the property to True stops the form resizing and hiding information,
which seems a bit backwards but it works!

Cheers for the help!

This may not be the same thing you ran into but it may help someone reading
this thread.

In my case I had a main form with two subforms on it, one upper one lower.

When I clicked in the upper subform the entire form would jump down about
1/4 inch.

Likewise, if I clicked in the lower subform, the entire form would jump up
about 1/4 inch.

It fit the description of an "annoying form resize," which is why your title
caught my attention.

Anyway, I tried different re-size changes but nothing worked.

Finally, I noticed one of the toolbarss at the top would disappear or
re-appear when i clicked in a different subform.

It turned out each subform had different toolbars menus assigned. When I set
them to use the same toolbars, it stopped the form from jumping!
