Auto Scalling (1 Viewer)

[SimoneRene]

Hi Guys,

Having some auto sizing issues. See attached pics. My original form (RC13) was all good then I added to it and now its not resizing (RC14). I have checked the settings and they all look the same. Any tips?

Thanks!

Simone.

This can happen with tab controls & subforms.
It can also be tricky to pin down a cause

I suggest you :
1. save a backup copy of the form
2. remove all the subforms, save the form
3. restore the subforms one at a time checking & saving after each one is added

You might also want to check the width of each subform & the tab control

why don't you put them in
Tab Control with each
subform on Separate Page (Tab).

The form is part of a larger database, I do have individual search forms as well. However the purpose of this form is to bring up all the documents related to one product and it works a treat... Apart from the scaling!:banghead: haha

Thank you Ridders, I think you could be right... No quick fix here.
I will set about rebuilding it in the morning.

I will check the widths to make sure they're the same, if they are different will the auto scaling not work?

Hi Arnelgp,

I haven't used the splitter control before- is the idea that in form view you are able to drag the subform's to increase their size? like changing the size of a text box?

Please see the image I have attached... I am assuming I will need to change something in the settings in the yellow box?

Thank you,

Simone.
