Sizing Forms

[Frank]

I have a form that is connected to a command button. I
want the form to pop up when the command button is
depressed. It does. Problem is, it brings up an
extremely big form. I want to size it sort of like a
popup window. I have looked at the properties and can't
seem to find how to resize it to make it sort of like a
small "pop up box." I removed footers/headers and only
have the details. Any help would be appreciated.

What I understand is that at runtime, your Form displays larger than the
Form in Design View. With the form open in form view, on the menu Windows |
Size to Fit Form. If it is PopUp, I think you may have to remove that, size
it, and then reset it.

In the DesignView of the "Pop-up" Form, resize the width of the Form and the
height of the Detail section to what you want and then set the
Form'sAutoResize Property to Yes / True.
