Form compressing on open

[Larnu]

Hi All,

Hope someone can help me ehre.

I've got a form which is being openned all I can see if half of the X button in the top right hand corner of the screen and a very small protion of the form. The total form shown is probably no bigger than 10x50 pixels in size.

The form itself is Modal and a Pop-up. The borders are set to Thin, so you cabn't resize it, and I don't want to enable this as a fix, as having an application where you have to resize it each time isn't good for a work environment.

The form itself looks fine in design view, and if openned in Form view from Design View, it only does this if it is openned in Form View to start.

Can anyone shed any light on why it would be behaving this strangely?

You can see a picture of how the form appears in the attachment, it's the little box under the Request Date.

Thanks all.

Try changing the settings so you can amend the size of it when it's open and then set the size as required, save the form and close. Then in design view remove the setting so the user can't resize it.

Failing that you could set the size using VBA when the form opens.

Think it's going to have to be when it opens, as it seems to reset, regardless of what I save.

I given up on it for now, as I got frustrated with having to constantly task manager the applciation, due to the modal setting locking me out. I'll post again if it's still playing games with me.

Thanks.
