    Can't get sizing correct for a popup form

    What property needs adjusting so that 1) Detail section heightens to match the height of the combo box and 2) have the combo box width match that of the detail section.

    Here's what I get:

    Form property sheet:

    EDIT: I thought you were dealing with a pop up form. Is your combo in a subform control?

    You might have to adjust the form object's size before you can make the combo bigger if you are using subforms.

    I did a test and cannot get this same result. If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    The intent is a popup that appears with an action triggered on the main form by the user and the OnOpen event positions the popup form on the screen and issues a dropdown. When the user makes the selection, the popup closes.

    I suppose I could use a list box in a sub-form and pass the selection to the parent.

    In preparing a db for review, I did a compact & repair and all the issues went away.

    Might want to correct the spelling of Prescription.
