continuous form: records do not automatically fit nicely

[Michiel Rapati-Kekkonen]

Is there maybe a trick
so that when I make a continuous form, the records fit exactly?
Now, without such trick, often the last visible record shows only half
and I have to stretch the form manually, and try, and try once more,
until all the visible records do fit neatly on my form.

thanks for your secrets

Here's some air code for that kind of thing:

Sub Form_Load(...
Const M As Integer = 7 'Max rows to display
Dim K As Integer 'min of M and record count

With Me.RecordsetClo ne
.MoveLast
K = .RecordCount
If K M Then K = M
End With

Me.InsideHeight = K * Me.Section(0).H eight _
+ Me.Section(1).H eight + Me.Section(2).H eight
End Sub

If your form does not have the Form Header/Footer sections,
drop the last line.

Same thing without code:
Window menu: choose 'size to fit form' while in form view,
Then *save* the form. The window size is saved also

absolutely cool, without code
but
with code looks just a touch better: the lower line of the fields in the
record is then also visible.

but thanks a lot for the information
