    Change Switchboard popup window size

    Does anyone know of a way to change the Switchboards popup window size? Its double the size it needs to be, been searching for a while now with no luck, a link posted on this forum for a solution is dead.

    Many Thanks

    Are you talking about the one built into Access with up to 8 buttons? How many buttons do you have. You should just be able to change the size in design view.

    It only has 7 buttons, when you attempt to resize in design view it gets a little upset and the distance between the buttons increases causing buttons to go off screen, or at least thats how it appears. Further "tweaking" got some buttons back. I have managed to get all 7 buttons showing again and gotten the screen a tiny bit smaller doing it this way but its a headache.

    You just don't like the extra space at the bottom?

    Do you want to post your db so we can look at it? You can make a clean copy by creating a new db and *importing* everything into it. On the first IMPORT page there is an "Options" button that lets you just import the structure of the tables and not the data. Then Compact and Repair and zip it up for posting. We'll have something to play with then.

    Ok sorry for the delay, I had to redo the tables due to a mistake I made when I first created it, just had to rebuild the entire thing.

    I switched to "Overlapping Windows" and removed the footer from the form.
