Generally, one of the most overlooked challenges working with Access is the behaviour and characteristics of the graphical controls which I would just describe as  un-tame. Sometimes, the excessive extra space beneath the footer or lower edge of a form in design view gets in the way and I have to scroll hard to put the form back into view. It is no good living with it, as the space gets larger every time I accidentally move a control beyond some unseen boundary. Is there a way to shrink this excess space back to the the edge of the form in design view?
