Form Design

[Evagrius]

Hi All,

I have a form which looks fine except the data and controls on the form take up about half the size of the screen - so when the user opens the form there is this wide, empty area on the right of the screen.

Do I have any design options to remove this w/out making the form a pop-up? Thank you for any help or advice!

You could put a nice little picture there.....

You could also experiment with the ANCHOR properties that Access 2007 has. You have a choice of LEFT, RIGHT, or BOTH for the Horizontal Anchor property of a control. The most efficient thing would be to buy the resizer from Peter's Software and let it do the work. But it does cost money.

Thanks guys - I'll try both ideas! It doesn't sound like access has anything specifically to deal with this . .
