button on windows form is off the page

i have a windows form with a menu, four horizontal labels, a datagrid and a button. the window size is set to {464, 510}. the button size is {456, 24} and the button location is {0, 431}.

when the form loads the button is so far down i can only see the top 5 or so pixels. but is i resize the form, in any direction, the button then displays where it is supposed to be, at the button of the form.

i have set the button properties in various combinations to try to solve this, but the problem continues.
dock: bottom/none
locked: true/false

i figured it out.

for some reason or another the window opens about 10pts less than it is supposed to, but the button sees the bottom as it was in design mode. i removed dock.bottom and raised the button about 10pts, set the anchors as noted above, and now it works as it should.

thanks for the help
