    Layout View changes not working in Tabbed Form


    I have several tabbed forms in the Detail section of a main form. I am trying to change the field lengths in one of the forms so all of the data is displayed instead of being cutoff. I think I successfully make the changes in the Layout view but when I display the main form, the changes are not in effect. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the field length is not being extended in the tabbed form.
    Thanks.

    Changes to field size must be made in the table design not the form.
    Or do you mean changes to how the data is displayed e.g. Reduce the number of d.p. from 4 to 2
