Making it stay the right size

[FrustratedAssnt]

I'm working on making my form nice and pretty, and I'm trying to size it
appropriately. I've got it sized how I like in design view, the autoresize is
turned off and even in its properties its set to the size I want.

Yet, when I save and open it the size doesn't change!!!!!!

Also, is there a way I can set it to open up in a certain part of the screen?

Auto Resize = No
Auto Center = No
Boarder Style = Sizable

Than open your form in normal view (not in design view) - move it to where
you want to it to be - drag the edges so its the size you want

Press Control and S

Close the form then reopen and have a look to see if it's what you like

Why not try it with Auto-Resize turned on?

You say you have the form sized the way you want it in design view. If that
is the case and auto-resize is turned off, then the form should remain the
size you see in design view - but the size includes any scroll bars, rulers,
and dividers you have inside the form. So the form when you switch views
should have the same dimensions as the design window.

If you really want to place it, use MoveSize on the On Open event of the form
or report. Soemthing like below will place it at the upper left corner:

DoCmd.MoveSize 1, 1, 6400, 6000
