Setting column width

[Ayo]

Is there a way to set the column width in a subform so that it doesn't change
everytime the form is open?

Ayo,

What kind of form are we talking about here? A datasheetview?

 

[Maurice]

In case of a datasheetview maybe you could set the following option in the on
load of the form:

me.ctrlname.columnwidth=value

where ctrlname is the name of your control and value can be anything you
type (try 10000 for instance).

It is a subform inside a large form.

Ayo,

Ok, then what kind of view is the subform? Is it a datasheet or do you use a
continuous form or a single form?

I guess that you can set the columnwidth in the datasheet as posted in the
next post. When using al the other variants you can just set the property in
the properties of the specified field by using the width option.

Let me know if i understand it correct or if i'm blabbing about something
which isn't what you are looking for...
