From: Linq Adams via AccessMonster.com on 24 Feb 2010 21:40 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. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

From: Rob Parker on 24 Feb 2010 21:40 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.

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. Pete "Rob Parker" wrote: > Hi Pete, > > The most likely cause is a control on the form which is preventing the form > width being reduced.
