I've just converted my database from Access 97. I have a form with several
subforms. I want to resize one of the subforms, but they appear differently
that they did in Access 97. There the subforms were blank until I
double-clicked. I could single click and resize using the little boxes
around the edge of the subform.

In Access 2003 I can't seem to do this.

Please help.

Thanks,
Pat Upshaw
 
Yes, in Access 2000 and later, Microsoft tries to display the subforms in
place on the main form.

Although that design is not very helpful (often you can't see much but
scrollbars and rulers), you can still use Size To Fit from the Format menu
to make the subform control resize for you.

MS also listened to feedback that we hated this approach, so in Access 2003
you can right-click the subform control and open it in its own window like
it did in A97.
