I have searched all over but can't seem to find a definitive answer as to what is going on with this form. I'm preparing to roll out a new version of our database and when testing it on another users computer I find this issue with the subforms. On my computer everything lines up nicely. On the other users computer things overlap. I have attached 2 screenshots to hopefully help describe this issue.

Hi. Are you using any layout or anchoring with your controls?

If I'm interpreting correctly everything is done in report view. I haven't messed with any of the anchoring so it all appears to be set to top left.

Yes they do. They have different size monitors and are running different resolutions.

Recommend you switch off all anchoring and layout guides. Instead use automatic form resizing.
