I use code in the Open event of all of my forms which sizes them to the desired design size:


Private Sub Form_Open(cancel as integer)

    me.insideheight = 2 * 1440              '2 inches high
    me.insidewidth = 7 * 1440               '7 inches wide

End Sub

I am absolutely mystified with that one. I have done exactly and I mean exactly what I was doing yesterday and all is now fine. Wasted 3 hours on this yesterday. Now it's all fine???????

When I open a pop up form right click the header and go into design mode and make design changes the form will not open to it's formatted size and always minimizes itself (To a postage stamp size or smaller). forcing you to resize it every time you open it. It's a pop up form in Modal. It also, in design mode, &nbsp;disregards my attempts to force it into dialog rather than sizable border format. I can import a copy and it works no problem but when I make any design change, that's it postage stamp permanent. I'm missing something!<br />
