    Question Trouble adjusting size of control

    I am editing a form with in a form. I am trying to re-size the control so that all of the fields can be seen when I want to input data. It looks correct in the design view, but when I look at the form in form view it reverts back. What am I doing wrong?

    Make sure you're not using Layout View when making the changes. Layout View has a nasty habit of changing Form sizes and bounds without your consent (one of the main reasons I've begun completely disabling Layout View in all the Databases I develop).

    Also, as long as your Subform's not in a Form/Page Header or Footer, I've found that the easiest way to control sizes is to set it's Can Grow Property to True. You'll still need to manually set up the Width, but it should automatically find the appropriate height for you!

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
