Extra wide margin - Why?

[Phil]

Hi,
I have a pop-up modal form where in design view the right edge of the form
is right next to the most right field on the form. When I open the form
there is about 1-2 inches space between the right field and the right edge of
the form. How I get rid of this extra space?

Thanks,

In form design view, drag the right edge of the form closer to the text box.
I refer to the "box" containing the form, not the form's width property.
Access seems to ignore the width property if it has extra space to fill.

It sounds like you have set the form's AutoResize property
set to No. If you have a good reason for that, then change
the form's design **window** to make it about 1/2 inch
narrower and save the design.
