MS Access Forum / Forms / March 2008form size upon opening?
How do I control the size of forms when they are opened ... I seem to not correctly understand how to set all my forms to the size I want them to be when they are opened. I always seem to have to change them. Suggestions please ... Bob Hi Bob, When you open your database the form should open to the same size every time. However, if you are referring to the size when you are working on the form and the size when a user opens it, you may have a command that is maximizing this. If you remove it, what ever size you make it in design view will be the same size when the user opens it. > How do I control the size of forms when they are opened ...

I can change it in design view to the size I want; but after I close and reopen it, it reopens to only about 4" wide. The 'width' listed in properties says 8; but it is not 8"???. At any rate, I cannot seem to make it larger?

So in design view, stretch the border of the form to where you want it AND THEN stretch the form itself to meet the border and that should do it. I just tried it on a test database and it worked fine unless you set some of the forms controls for sizing and resizing. > This does not appear to be the case.
