I have 2 controls on a form that are set with a specific .width property.
The Can Grow property is set to No.
The problem is that when I open the form in Form View, they suddenly grow to about 3 x their set width.
Is there a property I'm missing? or a known bug?

The CanGrow property only applies to height, not width.
You are setting the width in VBA code? Show the code for analysis. If no code is involved, I can't explain this behavior, never encountered.

Ah ha! Was form created with wizard? I don't use the wizards because they do things I don't like, such as create controls as a 'group'. If you want to be able to move/resize controls individually, must 'ungroup'.
