    Resize Switchboard form

    This is driving me nuts! my switchboard opens to the height of the screen by default, and I cannot figure out how to make it stop. I would like it to only open to the size I specify somewhere (or the size it needs). It only has a few items on each menu so it should be much smaller than it is.

    Any help as to where I can change this?

    Thanks

    I'm sorry, its actually already set up that way. The problem is that the form is displaying the width that I designate, but not the hight. It is showing about twice as large as it should.

    in design view, I made sure the background is sized to be snug with the details, but in form view, it makes the details section go all the way to the bottom of the screen, even if there are only two details (buttons in this case).

    The switchboard form only needs to be about half the height of my screen, but its showing up the full size (not tabs). Again, the width is correct though.

    Thanks

    Have you tried using the MoveSize() function in the OnLoad event?
