Form View small

[Pippa1]

Hi everyone,

I hope that there is a simple answer to this.

I have a form which in Design View looks fine but when I switch to form view you can only see the top part of it. You can scroll to see the rest but I would like to not have the bottom part of the screen wasted when you could see some of the information there.

I've attached some pictures. The files that end in 10,11,12. Are the form from top, middle and bottom, respectively in Design view and the last file is how it looks in Form View.

Can anyone help me correct this?

Thanks, Pippa

The size of the form is determined by the size of the header, detail and footer sections.
If you don't have a footer, remove the section.

That looks like your Detail section size is very small.

In future, suggest you use the printscreen button (PrtScn) to get a screenshot of your appplication screen or Alt+PtrScn to grab just the active window.

MUCH easier than using your phone & you'll get a better image as well

Thank you. The height of the detail section was set long enough but as you suggested I shrunk the footer and that seemed to solve it. Seems a bit random but hooray. Thanks again, Pippa
