Form margins not matching design view

Hi All,
I have a couple of forms that have extra space either at the bottom
or right side when opened. This space isn't there in design view. There
aren't any controls hanging over or anything. Can anyone suggest possible
sources of this extra space?

Hi Max,

When you open a from in form view in a maximised window the extra space to
the right and below will be filled with blank background even if it isn't
there in the design view. Restoring the window may shown the actual form
size, although this depends on the properties of the form and how it has been
saved. A way around this is to set the form's Pop Up property to Yes and Auto
Resize to Yes. The form will not fill the whole screen when opened and the
window that it sits in will be the same size as the form design area.

Make sure you close and re-open the form if it appears not to have worked
initially as the form may retain the original size if switching to form view
after changing the properties and before closing.

Hope this helps
