    I Bet this is an EASY Fix!!!

    On my database I was changing some fields around and accidently moved it out to far and it made the form a a very small scroll as you can see is there a way I can make it not a scroll and make it full screen??Click image for larger version.

    I don't understand the question if you accidentally expanded your work area you should be able to just as easily shrinking back down, or just hit ctrl-z to undo your change

    well i saved and closed it to open it from the user perspective and it was in a little box and i dont know how it made it like that but i cant undo the change. the question is how can i get the small scroll box to be as big as the larger scroll box?

    are you using navigation panes (or whatever that 'feature' microsoft introduced is)? if it won't allow you to keep the form with the 'wide' view that's where I would look.

    Is this a Navigation form?

    Did you try resizing the subform container in design view?

    can i give you a link to download the database from google and you could see it or what? because I dont think I fully understand your explanation but I also can't explain it that great so here is the link to get the latest copy and i will give directions to the form that has the problem.
    Zip File - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Y...it?usp=sharing
    RAR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Y...it?usp=sharing
    I will snd directions in a minute
    the form you are looking for is fabrication person 1 and fabrication person 2

    If you go to fabrication tab and look at Ruben and Leo Tabs from there you will see that it started doing some kind of Scroll Type box thats way to small?
    I want ot make it not have a scroll box but be able to see the information in a full window

    Well I changed whatever format it was in a redesigned the form to be in a sub-form format so that I could re size it I am trying to clean up the database because I am not the one who designed it but I am the one trying to maintain it I took over the previous guys job so now I have these responsibilities.
