How to resize a Popup Form

137 New Member
This is possibly one of the most infuriating problems I've come across - how to permenantly resize a popup form.

I cannot for the life of me work out how to resize a popup form in a way that it always opens as that size. No matter what I change or turn off, it keeps reverting back to the size it started. I've tried turning off things like auto resize, changing the size in the Form_Open event, and yet nothing works.

For such a simple element of design, Access does a mighty fine job of making this difficult. Can anyone offer any information on how to do this?

Thanks.

Adam.

Adam, as far as I can remember you must save the form, in DESIGN TIME immediately you make the changes. Press CTRL+S or SAVE button. Try that !

By design time do you mean design view?

The form in question is a continuous form so size cannot be determined in design view. I've resized a continuous form before but it was trial and error and I can't remember how I did it.

I've tried resizing it in form view then saving immediately after - sometimes this remembers it when you go between design/form view, but as soon as the form is closed it loses the size again.

Yes: Design View. Sorry.
And sorry because I can't provide more help.

Np Mihail, thanks anyway.

Access seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to resizing and moving the pop up forms.
