Form Sizes Changes????

[skilche1]

I am starting to get a little frustrated with my forms changing sizes when I reopen them. It seems to happen randomly, they’ll either maximize to screen size or will shrink down to nothing. This is starting to get annoying to me and will be to others when I publish this onto the network.

I cannot find here because the Search feature isn't working at the moment.

Can some please help me out with this?

What version of Access are you using? How do you set your form's AutoResize property?

I am running 2007 and the forms are set to "No" on resizing...

Have you applied the Offile 2007 Service Pack yet?

Yes, I do.

Do you use the Maximize, Minimize or Restore commands anywhere? Do you use MoveSize?

i had this problem. you actually need to have the "resize" property set to "yes"!!

i've changed it on two forms i was having problems with and it fixed the problem.

i know, it barely makes sense, but it worked for me when i was having the same problem. just try it, and if it fixes it, yay. if not... hmmm.... i'm puzzled too.

i think access interprets the "yes" as "yes, i want my form resized to the size i make it in design view" - bloody useless! of course i want my form to be the size i build it as!

Thanks for all helped me out. After playing around with the actual boarders with all the subforms, it no longer resizes itself.

Thanks agian.
