I need to size a form 4.5" by 4.5". I figured out how to use the "Size to fit
form" option. This
accomplishes what I need, however when I close the database the "Size to fit
form" is not saved. Is there a way to save this option permanently?
I have the "Autosize" property setup to "No" (I have tried it as "no" and
"yes").
Thanks,

Autosize = Yes should do exactly the same thing as "Size to fit form".
However it only works when you open a completely closed form. It does
nothing when going from design view to nomal view.
 
Thank you. I followed your instructions and was able to get the form
re-sized. However, when I close the database, re-open it, and open the form
it goes back to taking up the entire screen. Any other ideas?
Thanks,

Well, a "maximized form" has nothing to do with the "size" of a form. Your
form is opening maximized. Likely because you have something else maximized
before you open it. In Access if one thing is maximized then everything is
maximized. The excpetion being form with the Popup property set to Yes.
 
Thanks. I do have a form opening as maximum when I open the database. I set
the "Popup" property to "yes" and everything appears to be working now.
Thank you.
