Form resizing help

[ron513]

I have a tabbed form I am having difficult sizing. When the form is opened the top of the form is not visible. I can use the vertical scroll bar and scroll up to see the top of the form but I would like the complete form to show when opened. The form size is small enough to fit on the screen without scrolling. When I select each of the other tabs I have to use scroll bars as well to view the whole form.

In design mode the resize handle for the width allows me to adjust that dimension, but the height handle will only allow me to make the tab larger not smaller.

Any Ideas?

It sounds like there is a control in the way. You cannot move the bottom (or side) or a tab over a control.

Hi ron513,
To figure out where the problem is, add the tabs one by one to your form. See which one is causing the oversize problem. Then Resize the controls on that tab.

I've seen this occur if the control with focus on the opening of the form is at the bottom of the form. You might want to check this.

Is there any Line Control on the form ? To make sure select controls from the combo box from the design toolbar. Usually templates provided by MS is having a line control placed just bottom of header / detail and too hard to find or select. We will merely notice ther is one.
