Controlling the window size of a pop up form

[Aaron5714]

I have a split form that opens as a pop up window. When I look at it in design view it appears to be sized to the correct width (see 1st screenshot below), but when I open it in form view I get a bunch of extra white space on the right side of the form (see 2nd screenshot). I have been playing with the form's properties for an hour trying to fix this but have not had any luck. Anyone have any ideas?

You have the form Popup property set to Yes?

Open the form in Form view. Size the form, save. Close and reopen. Should be the same size. Works for me.

I do have the Pop Up property set to Yes. I tried manually resizing it in form view, then saving it and reopening, but it does not seem to save the new size.

I'll keep playing with it and see if I can figure it out.

I forgot to mention that when I saved db after resizing the form, a popup asked 'want to save changes to the form'. Did you get that?

Otherwise, if you want to provide db, I will see what I can do. Follow instructions at bottom of my post.

No, I did not get the pop up message about saving changes after I resized the form and then saved the DB. Any idea why I am not seeing that message?

Correction, the popup was triggered when I closed the form but further testing indicates that is irrelevant. I must have done other changes to the form at the same time.

Are all controls sized to fit within the desired form size?
