Resize problem

[Mats]

Hello,

I can't figure this one out. I'm trying toposition a textbox (txtSum) on the forms resize event. I use the code below, but get an error saying that the control is too large for the area. When I step through the code everything looks o.k.

txtSum.Top = Me.InsideHeight - txtSum.Height - 100

Thanks for any help,
Mats

Try using Me.section(0).Height instead of Me.InsideHeight.

Dunno what difference it will make but give it a go and have a look. It sorted out some weird problems I was having with forms and resizing.

Nope, doesn't seem to work. The property does not seem to change when the form is resized.

Your quite right, my suggestion was a load of poo.

Your original code works fine for me as long as you only make the form smaller than it's original size.

Try this - it works for me:

me.section(0).height=me.insideheight
txtSum.Top = Me.InsideHeight - txtSum.Height - 100

Thanks for the help!

This was one strange 'feature'... As long as the form is bigger in design mode than when it's resized this works just fine.

Setting me.section(0).height=me.insideheight works otherwise, but when the form is started it generates an error.

Thanks again,
Mats
