Setting Size of Switchboard
I created a switchboard using the wizard, and I would like to permanently set
it's size. When it is set up with sizeable borders, it retains the last size I make it. When I set up the borders as something else (i.e. thin, dialog, or none), the width is the way I want it, but the heighth is not (it is way to tall, shows too much white space at the bottom). How can I set the border to thin and yet be able to set the size of the switchboard? Thanks for the help. |

Setting Size of Switchboard
Gntlhnds -
My guess is the switchboard is too tall because of extra buttons on the form that are not used (invisible). If so, you can decide to shrink these extra buttons and/or overlap them and then reduce the form size itself (in design view). Leaving them on the form gives you the ability to use them later if you need more buttons on your switchboard later, without having to add back the code to drive them. If there is another reason, then post back what you think makes the form so tall, and we can help from there. -- Daryl S "Gntlhnds" wrote: I created a switchboard using the wizard, and I would like to permanently set it's size.

Setting Size of Switchboard
When I have used the wizard for the switchboard, it has created more buttons
that I needed. It doesn't sound like you have any of those. If you don't have any, then what is making your form so tall? Is the detail section taller than it needs to be? Can you shrink it up? If it won't shrink, then there is something on the form keeping it long. You can put your cursor in the left ruler section and drag a little to see if something is selected. If so, either move it or resize it so you can shrink the form. -- Daryl S "Gntlhnds" wrote: How would I see these invisible buttons on the form? When I look at the form in design view, there is only one button.

Setting Size of Switchboard
None of that helped. I have the detail section set to be just tall enough
for one line of items (when viewing it in design view) and using the selection method there wasn't anything else showing up that wasn't supposed to be there. As long as I leave the form with sizeable borders, it will stay the size I want it. As soon as I set the borders to Thin, it becomes extraordinarily tall. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
