Controlling height of continuous popup form

[GraeagleBill]

I have a popup form that I can't manage to control its height.

What I want is this: What I get is this:


Form's Format Properties:

Is this a simple case of property setting or something else.

Open form in design view, manually size, save, close, reopen.

In design view, change the height of the detail section using the property sheet or adjust using the mouse cursor. Save.
Next time you open the form it should be the height you set

June,
That was my initial approach. There's no "Height" format property for the form, only the Detail section. If I change the height of the detail section as Colin suggested, that doesn't do anything to solve the issue at the form height, it just makes the space allocated for each record a different size.

Here's the design view of the popup:

In design view - manually drag bottom edge of form to desired size, save, close, reopen.

Hi Colin,
Like I posted in reply to June7, changing the height of the Detail section only changes the space for each record. I want the popup form itself to become vertically shorter.

I thought I'd done that..............
With "Can Grow" property set to yes, I expected the form
to grow vertically as the number of records increased.

Post #5 should do what you want providing you change to overlapping Windows in database options.
Using tabbed documents the form will I believe be the height of the screen.

I opened the form in Layout mode and dragged the size of the Access window, clicked save, closed and again resized the Access Window to a nominal size for viewing and development. I've never had to do anything like that in the past to get popups sized correctly so I"m still in mystery. Anyway, I'll not take up any more of your time so thank you.

I did sizing in design view and works for me.

There seems to be something drastically wrong with my A2013 system. I CANNOT get the popup forms to size as specified in design view as originally described in Post #1. I drag the bottom boarder of the form up like you see pictured in Post #4 and as originally suggested by June7 and Colin. I was able to again size using the process described in Post #10. But, while that gives me a workaround it doesn't leave me with any satisfaction that ALL IS WELL!

I know of no missing updates to Office 2013 so the only thing I can think to do is re-install O2013. I don't want to take the time to do that if anyone has an idea I should try first?
Thanks,
Bill

Why not upload the form and any data need to make it work and one of us can try it out.

Images in posts 7 and 9 show Tabbed Documents. So I just tested with Tabbed Documents changing size of popup in form view and saving. It reopens to the revised size. I had to first open in Design view then switch to Form view so the Save button is available.

Not sure I follow what June did in Post #14, but below is the screenshots of the form "frmAEUsers" in the "TestDB.mdb". (Attachment Manager doesn't have functionality allowing me to browse to the folder that has the "TestDB.mdb". I'll try a separate post that doesn't contain any images.)
