Fields Positioned At Bottom of the Form
in [Form]

From: Sprinks on 26 Apr 2010 03:28 There must be some form property I don't understand. On a single column form, in Design View: - the first field is positioned at a .1" vertical position - the form looks like I want it to - there is no form footer When I open the form, either clicking View from Design view, or closing and opening it again, the first field is positioned such that the last field is right at the bottom. If I add a footer, the fields move up the height of the footer. While I could position it how I want by a footer set by trial and error, this seems like a bandaid. I suspect I've accidentally changed a property that is in essence "bottom-justifying" the fields within the available space. Can anyone help? Thank you. Best regards, Sprinks
From: BruceM via AccessMonster.com on 26 Apr 2010 08:44 I can't make out what you are describing. What is a single-column form? Do you mean a form in datasheet view, or what exactly? What do you mean by "the first field is positioned such that the last field is right at the bottom"? Are you referring to record order? More information, please.

From: Sprinks on 26 Apr 2010 21:57 Bruce, It is in Single Form view, with all fields arranged in a single column--just as the Form Wizard would create if "Columnar" was selected. What I'd like to see is something like: ________________________________________________________________ CONTAINERS ________________________________________________________________ Container ID: Container Name: Size: Unit: ______________BOTTOM OF FORM____________________________________ What I see instead is: ________________________________________________________________ CONTAINERS ________________________________________________________________ Container ID: Container Name: Size: Unit: ______________BOTTOM OF FORM____________________________________ Thank you for the help.

From: Gina Whipp on 27 Apr 2010 01:14 Sprinks, In the Detail section of your form, while in Design View, move the fields up to the top of the Detail section. Then move the bottom bar of the Detail Section up to the bottom of the last field. -- Gina Whipp 2010 Microsoft MVP (Access) "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Sprinks" <Sprinks(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1F475FFE-DC40-4F90-98F2-35E2326936BE(a)microsoft.com...

From: Jeanette Cunningham on 27 Apr 2010 01:36 Sprinks, does this have something to do with where you have placed the subform on this form? If you were to delete the subform and move the controls to where you want them and save the form and then reopen the form would you get what you want?
