Form Issue

[PD1978US1]

Hi All,

question.
when working in the design window of a particular form I can align all text boxes and buttons to look good.

However once I open the form, the alignment is not correct any more.
Also when I move the navigation pane left to right and right to left the alignment also is affected.

How am I able to fix it that it doesn't get messed up.
Is there a trick?
The database will be used on various sizes of monitors and this will affect it.

Looking forward to some useful hints.

Rgds,
Dan

Do the controls have any "Sections" or "padding" around them?

If the form was originally created using the wizards, on later access versions it can leave some 'helpful' additions around controls.

Controls won't move on their own, only some code can do that. Are you saving the form in design view before opening it?

Post up a sample if all else fails.

Hey Minty,

The I'll send you some examples in the morning.

Rgds,
Daniel

Just compact and repair a stripped down version and then zip it and upload to here, I may not be able to pick it up and someone else may assist in the meantime.

Hi,

see if this works: htt ps://drive.google.com/open?id=1lMQTqxiqR2R-JjeL6GCmfz74R1Gp0g-r

I just tried the file on a different users pc.... there no issues......

Like I mentioned....if I start the database and hit F11 for the navigation pane and scroll left to right, the alignment of the wording shifts....

Ok - if there are no issues on another machine it's probably a graphics driver issue.
Are you running on multiple displays, or a 4k display?

I have an issue that certain popup forms opened on my second monitor shrink themselves to 1 pixel high and can't be seen. I have to close the database - reopen on the main monitor and then open it in design view resize it...
