    Sizing Subforms within Tab Control

    I have a number of subforms within different tab control pages. Is there an easy way to size these in design view? I usually expand the subform to fit in the area for the tab control page. However, if I don't make it quite big enough, there are gaps at the right side and at the bottom. If I make it too big, it automatically expands the page area for all the tabs and I have to try to find the offending subform, make it smaller, then resize the page area. Is there a button I can hit in design view that will make the subform fit the page area... or is there another technique I can use to make these subforms fit better? Thanks, Eddie

    I'm sorry Eddie but AFAIK you just have to do it as you have been. Maybe someone knows something better here and will chime in.

    That's correct; this kind of thing is sort of hit and miss, with you having to tweak it, run it, and tweak it again, until you get it as you want it.
