prevent forms from automatically enlarging

Hello all,

I apologize in advance for the long question, but I wanted to make it
clear.....

This is a problem I've had for quite some time now and it seems to be
erratic. Sometimes my forms enlarge automatically for an unknown reason.
Meaning that, I have forms that are originally sized at 8.5"x5" in Design
View. Sometimes, when viewing in Form View, the entire form and all its
controls have been enlarged proportionally - to say, 10.5"x7". Then every
time I make another change and view it again, the form and the controls
(including subforms) continues to keep enlarging. I have found no way to
reverse this. When I first encountered this problem, I had to re-design the
entire form and subforms from scratch in order to get back to the original
size. Now I keep backups of all forms so I can just replace the distorted
ones. But this is has been really irritating for my DB users.

Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone have any suggestions - please?!
Thanks for any and all help!
 
I don't know why the problems occurs, but you could a couple of lines of code in the Form Load or Form Activate event that explicitly sets the form dimensions to what you want.
