Size of modal pop-up form

[rodrigoturbina]

Hi everyone, I am having issues with a split form which modal and emergent (pop-up) properties are set to yes.
When I open it, it is maximized or out of the size I had setup; although I saved it trying to "freeze" the height and width.
Does anybody know how it works?
Thanks a lot, regards
Rod

Look into the Auto Resize property of the form.

 

[rodrigoturbina]

Auto resize = Yes
Auto center = Yes
Adjust/fit to screen = No
Borders style = adjustable

I read some people change the form size, then switch to form view, set the size we would like it to have, and then save the form... however, it did not work either.

Also tried setting the form size and changing the border style to thin... not successful.

There has to be a way to fix the height and width, but I don´t know how...

Sometimes you just need to save and close the form for it to take effect.

I have already tried that, my friend; even saving in design view, changing to form view, resizing it; saving again... and so on.

Is there any way to fix the size?

The properties are ok, so I would suggest that you change Auto Resize to No, move to another property, come back to Auto Resize and set it to Yes. Then open the form.

1) Did so;
2) (without saving) I switched to form view;
3) manually changed the form size;
4) right clicked over the pop-up title bar and saved the form;
5) closed the form;
6) reopened it and again it opens "restored" but all the way stretched to the full window (but not maximized).

Am I doing it right?!

Upload a sample db with the form, let me have a look.

I have tried split forms before and they are hard to get right in pop up so I have avoided them.

you could try to set the height and width in the on load event

Me.InsideHeight = 1440
Me.InsideWidth = 1440

The size is in twips with 1440 twips = 1 inch

try in the popup's open event

runcommand acCmdSizeToFitForm

Dear "new_guy_tom" and "gemma"... unfortunately, none of your replies worked. The first one simply did not work since the form kept opening "almost maximized" (but still restored). The second one threw me a "end/debug message since the runcommand acCmdSizeToFitForm "was not available" or something like that...
