Can not resize form width, tab page width

Guest

I have a form with multiple tab forms in the detail section. Somehow :) when
I created the form the form width property got set at 22". I have tried
everything I know and can not get the width to change. If I cange it in the
form property, header property or detail property, when I click off the
property box, it just goes bact to 22". Guess it does not really hurt
anything, but it sure is annoying.

Any suggestions as to how I can resize it?

Thanks

If there is an object on the form that goes out to the 22" position then you
will have to move/shrink that before you can makes the form narrower.

I did have a tab page that had objects extending out to 22". However I redid
the form and got all controls inside 10". But I select the tab form to resize
it, scroll over and get the proper place to drag it smaller, it just pops
back to the 22". I have 3 tab pages and have checked them all and none, or
the detail section of the main form, have anything past 10".
I'd just delete it and start over, but it takes a lot of control formatting.

Thanks for the reply

If the TabContol won't shrink when you drag the right side to the left then
*something* is still out there. Look for a vertical line or other small
objects that might be difficult to see. Drag a rectangle around that area
and see if you "catch" anything.
