    Form resize won't save

    Hi guys

    So for some reason this form I have created reverts to its original size every time I open it. I have turned auto resize off but no matter what I do it refuses to save the size I change it to. It has always worked for other forms but I cannot work out what is causing this.



    Any help would be appreciated

    Is the Border Style set to Dialog?

    You can also try opening the form in Form View, resizing as desired, then opening in Layout View, and then saving the form.

    It doesn't seem to matter what style I set the border to, it still just resets.

    I have opened it in Form View, resized and saved in Layout View but with no success

    I have never encountered this problem before

    Actually never mind, I managed to resolve it. I had to resize it in Design View where I couldn't see it properly and then go into Form View to see if it was the size I wanted, rinse and repeat until it was right.

    Very strange

    There are sometimes issues when dealing with popup continuous forms with fixing the window size.
    When all else fails, you can always resize manually On Form Load.
