Repositioning A Subform

[Guest]

I have a form with with two to overlapping subforms. By default the
sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamiles is visible. If I choose the Group Option in an
option box the sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamiies becomes visible, and the subform
for the non-grouped items is selected, I have a 3rd option which the BOTH
option. What I what wanted to do was shrink the size of the Group subform and
then reposition the NonGroup option right below it and both becomes visible.
I get a "Run-Time error 2100 The control or subform control is too large for
this section" when i clicked on the Both option. What's wrong with the code?
To get the exact positions and sizes of the subforms I manually resize and
move them temporarily so i can get the measurements.

Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Visible = True
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Left = 3.9167 * 1440
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Top = 0.3333 * 1440
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Width = 5.4383 * 1440
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Height = 3.0417 * 1440

Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Visible = True
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Left = 3.9167 * 1440
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Top = 3.7083 * 1440
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Width = 5.4583 * 1440
Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Height = 2.7083 * 1440

you might find it easier to add a tab control to your form, and put each
subform on a different tab page. you can use the option group to display one
tab page, or the other, or both.

You possibly need to resize the detail section first then change the
InsideHeight to the details new height as like

Me.Detail.Height = Me.Detail.Height * 3
Me.InsideHeight = Me.Detail.Height

Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Height = 3.0417 * 1440

Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Height = 2.7083 * 1440

Dim intLeftPosition As Integer
intLeftPosition = Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Left

Dim intTopPosition As Integer
intTopPosition = Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryFamilies.Height +500

Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Move intLeftPosition , intTopPosition

but if you add the heights of the form then it should total to the same
height of one of the forms when shown by itself.

Me.sfrm_MonthlyGroceryNonFamily.Move intLeftPosition , intTopPosition

This adjusting the height works but instead of just multiplying it, at the end I reset the form height back to the original height of the form.

Thanks for the recommendation.
