Possible Form Corruption?

[Guest]

I have a form that when it opens, it opens only as a tiny sliver of a form.
Just enough to close it when I click on it. It won't let me make it any
bigger.

Is the form corrupted or is there a fix?

Thanks, Rob

bigger.

I've had this happen before and don't know what causes it.

Can you grab a "handle" and drag it to make it any bigger?

Can you open it with something like this:

DoCmd.OpenForm "FormName"
DoCmd.Maximize

Or perhaps in the form's open or Load event:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSizeToFitForm

I can get it to open via DoCmd.Maximize but that the only way and I don't
want it to opem maximized.
The DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSizeToFitForm also works, but it doesn't have the
look I need. I'm wondering why it won't open as before.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure why this happens, but when it does I've always been able to open the form in design view, size it, save it,
then open it normally, size it and save it. That always seems to "fix" the problem. Matter of fact, this hasn't happened
to me lately ... probably a bad thing to mention that!!!

Any help would be appreciated.

yeah that bug has happened to me in a decade

of course, I use Access Data Projects

I'm not sure why this happens, but when it does I've always been able to

open the form in design view, size it, save it,

come to think of it.. I did get something like this on reports...
I do a LOT of report automation though; so I kinda blamed it on myself (for
example trying to set the RowSource for a Line Object; crap like that I
accidently did a whole lot of stuff like that)

I just reverted to a prior version of the report

I'm not sure why this happens, but when it does I've always been able to
