Displaying records in a subform

I hope that I say this correctly..

I have 27 records in my subform...how do I make the detail window bigger to display all 27 records?  In form view I see only about five records  and I have to use the scroll bar to see the rest.

Will it *always* have only 27 records to display?

What if it will contain 50, or even 100?
At some point you will be limited to the available screen real estate.
Scrolling was designed to let you see *any* amount of records, without having to dynamically change the size of the form.
Scrolling is fairly standard UI feature.

Is here a specific issue with scrolling?

Yes it will always display 27 records for the filters I have set and Scrolling is fine, but my boss wants to be able to display as many of the 27 records as possible.
Did you try my suggestion?
