Cannot shange width of form

[Pete Hay]

In the form properties I'm trying to reduce the form's width. Width property
seems to be locked. Changes are ignored. What is locking this?

Sorry for the mispell

If you have any controls on the right hand edge of the form, and it can be
something as simple as a horizontal line, Access will not let you reduce the
width. You'll have to first reposition any of these controls further to the
left then reduce the form's width.

Hi Pete,

The most likely cause is a control on the form which is preventing the form
width being reduced. You cannot make the form narrower than the right-most
control position. If it's not immediately obvious, it might be a line which
is overlapped by control borders, or at the very top or bottom of a section.

HTH,

Rob

Thank you both for your replies. Yes it was a simple horizontal line placed
all the way against the bottom of the header section and not really visible
on-screen. Glad I can count on this group even for the obvious ones.
