Continuous Form width

[Miles R]

I have a Continuous Form created by copying from another form but I want to reduce its width in design view.


However, it won't let me do that. I can increase the width but when I set it to a smaller number, it reverts to the original.
Normally I see this behaviour if there a fields on the form beyond where I would reduce it to. There is nothing that I can see that should prevent the width being reduced.
Attached is an image showing the right hand side of the form.
Anyone got any suggestions other than creating the form from scratch.
Thanks.

Found the problem. There was a tiny text box at the right of the form that I was using to set focus to. This text box was so small it could not be seen.
Having removed this, the problem has gone away and I can reduce the form width.

Make the textbox big enough to see, just set it's visible property to False.

Thanks for your reply, but that would defeat the purpose of the text box.
It is meant to be so small you can't see it on the live form but is still able to accept focus. An invisible text box can't accept focus.
I'll leave you to figure out why you might want to do that.

I just set such a text box left, top width and height properties to 0
