Form size

[Sheba]

Hi I have created a data entry form as Pop Up. When I exit and reopen the application, I have to resize the form because part of it is not showing. How can I set the width and height such that it doesn't change, on loading? I don't mind if it is moveable but I just want the size to be set.

I appreciate any help on this.

Make sure you save it in design view after resizing it.

How complicated is the form?
IIRC, I had a problem like this once, and I simply recreated the form and the issue was gone. I only recommend this solution if your form is not complicated and it wouldn't be a task to recreate it.

hi Cbende2. The form is not complicated in terms of usage. Just about 2 tab pages each with combo boxes. I only see the "Width" (not the height) property for the form, which I have changed many times. I also saved it in the design view too. As for recreating it, I would prefer another option.

my opinion the only option is change it to dialog, form properties >>Border style =Dialog

Hi Eki, I did as you suggested but it was still the same response only this time, I could not resize the form

Forms do not have a Height property. Have you tried setting the height of the detail?

IIRC there is a property field for the detail Height. I usually use the mouse pointer to resize while in design view , like mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

sheba ... you need to set up first the form size(height & widht) manual(using mouse pointer) in design view ... can you post the priview of your form then we can know what are the really problem is...
