Incorrectly sized Control Box
Serdar Sahinbas 

2 years ago
I have a problem that I haven't been able to solve for a long time. As can be seen in the screenshots, my form's control boxes are narrower than the width of the form itself for some reason, and I can't somehow fix this.
I am also adding the property sheet of the form, in fact, I tried all the possible settings here with different combinations, but still no solution. When I set the "AutoResize" property of the form to "No", the problem disappears, but this time the form does not open in the size I want(Popup and Modal).

Because of this problem, I am trying to get around the problem by designing my own control boxes, but this is a very tiring and arduous job.

Is this a bug that I don't know about? I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time trying to solve the problem but does anyone have any ideas or advice to solve this issue once and for all?

See if it happens to newly created forms and other existing forms.  I've seen many mysterious form glitches in my decades of using Access (two in the last month alone), and this could be one of them.

Thanks, Kevin. I tried it with both new form and also existing form. All appears same with this issue. Still looking for a solution.

Is it anything to do with a scroll bar being there... invisible or otherwise?

Hey David. I can't believe this worked! I was quite sure that i already tried it but gave it another shot and voila! Thanks for your comment!
