    White Space after Removing Navigation Buttons

    Hello all,



    I wanted to hide the navigation bar on the bottom of my form so I changed the "Navigation Buttons" property to "No." It worked fine except now there's an empty white space where the navigation bar use to be. Any idea on how I can remove that also?

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Change the Scroll Bars to either Vertical Only or None and the empty space disappears. I am not an expert to provide the reasoning for this behavior. Experts will be able to tell why should a white space should appear at the bottom in your case.

    As June7 said, this pops up from time to time on Access forums, and amrut's suggestion is the correct fix. The Nav Buttons and the Horizontal Scrollbar occupies the same bit of real-estate, and if only one of them is set to not be invisible, the 'hole' left by it is empty and sitting there. And if the Form isn't wide enough to require a Scrollbar, all the space is left 'empty.'When both are set to not be visible, the bit of real-estate is apparently 'released.'

    Like June7, when I tried to replicate the problem, I couldn't! Then I remembered trying to do this before, going crazy, for a while, until I realized that whether or not it's 'visible,' to a given person, depends on what color they have their Form formatted to and their Windows setting for things like Scrollbars! Once I downloaded the attached app the 'white space' did become obvious, to me!
