Resize form

[Guest]

Is there a way to resize a form so that it is smaller than the default? I
only have 2 data entry boxes and do not want the form to take up the whole
screen.
TIA!

Sure. First set the size of the form in design view, by resizing the
form's "canvas" area. Then, to make sure the form gets displayed at
this size every time it's opened, set the form's Auto Resize property to
Yes (on the Format tab of the form's property sheet in design view).

Note that these settings will be overridden if the forms are in a
maximized.state.
