How do I change the size of pages on forms?

I have a form built using pages. I am trying to change the size of the pages on the forms so I am able to print to one page. When i try to change the size of the page in the property sheet it just defaults back to the number. I have tried to change the size by highlighting the page and using the arrows on the frame and the same result. there is nothing showing on the page where i would be making it smaller any suggestions.

You would click through all the tabs in design view, and look for all the controls.

Try Ctrl-A after clicking on each tab. That will highlight all your controls, even those that might be there, but you can't see them....

kenschwolow,

I am confused by your question. First, typically we don't print forms, we print reports. Second, what do you mean by a "form built using pages"?

Pleaes provide a little more information for us to work a solution.

I am building a form using the tabs and each tab presents a new page to input controls or fields. The size of the page the the tab represents is to large view on the screen I am trying to make the tabbbed pages smaller to be able to view on a screen without scrolling. However the height the width fields in the tab control properties do not allow changes. You can type in a new size but they just keep bringing in the original dimensions. is there a way to unlock those properties to allow a change to the tabs

The width can only be as small as the largest element that is on all the tabs. Did you shorten all the objects on all the tab pages first?

I believe that I have I have checked all elements on the page and none appear to be larger than what I want to reduce the tabs to. Is there anyway to do a show all on the elements or could there be elements are are hidden?
