autoresize subform height

[diegomarino]

hi, i'm using this function to autoresize a subform that has only detail section

Function ResizeSubForm(SubFrm As SubForm)    
   Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
   Dim RecordCnt As Integer
   Set rs = SubFrm.Form.RecordsetClone
   RecordCnt = rs.RecordCount
   SubFrm.Height = SubFrm.Section(0).Height * (RecordCnt)
End Function

it returns me "wrong number of arguments or property assignation not valid.


i tried too with "subfrm.section(AcDetail)

thoughts?

Height property applies only to form sections, not the form itself. Try applying your height value to the detail section if there is no header or footer.

i tried to set from the main form the height of subform and it worked

me.partecipanti.height = 200

then i tried what you said (at least what i get)

 Me.Partecipanti.Height = Me.Partecipanti.Section(0).Height

and got the same error

ps my goal is to resize the height of subform based of number of records

I'm guessing that partecipanti is the name of your subform control, not the name of your subform? These are not the same thing. If that is incorrect then I don't know what you're doing or what you have. If height is not a form property (and M$ says it is not) then you can't refer to a property that doesn't exist no matter how you write it:
Me.Partecipanti.Height

would be invalid if partecipanti is a form. If that is the subform control, you should be able to increase its height, but the subform itself likely won't increase in height to match it.
I think you need to identify the names of your subform control and the subform itself.

thanks! that was the point, i'd never understand by myself

just i had to change " SubFrm.Height = SubFrm.Section(0).Height * (RecordCnt)" to SubFrm.Height = SubFrm.Form.Section(0).Height * (RecordCnt)

and everything is fine!!

Still don't know what your objects are named, but it looks like SubFrm is the subform control, which you've declared as a subform rather than a Control, which kind of surprises me that the code works. Anyway, glad to have been able to help in some small way.
Thanks for the rep point.

My subform Is named "partecipanti" so in the argument of the function i out "me.partecipanti"

The part "subfrm.height" Is referred to the control, the "subfrm.form.section" Is referred to the form, that's my interpretation.

Actually, subfrm Is a subform and not a control but you know, It Is like love, noone knows how It works but It works

Don't know what your code look like now, but you should close and destroy the recordset when done with it:

Function ResizeSubForm(SubFrm As SubForm)    
    Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    Dim RecordCnt As Integer
   
    Set rs = SubFrm.Form.RecordsetClone
    RecordCnt = rs.RecordCount
    If RecordCnt>0 Then
        SubFrm.Height = SubFrm.Section(0).Height * (RecordCnt)
    End If
    
    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
End Function
