in [Form]

From: Gntlhnds on 27 May 2010 15:53 How would I see these invisible buttons on the form? When I look at the form in design view, there is only one button.

From: Daryl S on 27 May 2010 17:09 Gntlhnds - My guess is the switchboard is too tall because of extra buttons on the form that are not used (invisible). If so, you can decide to shrink these extra buttons and/or overlap them and then reduce the form size itself (in design view). Leaving them on the form gives you the ability to use them later if you need more buttons on your switchboard later, without having to add back the code to drive them. If there is another reason, then post back what you think makes the form so tall, and we can help from there. -- Daryl S "Gntlhnds" wrote: > I created a switchboard using the wizard, and I would like to permanently set > it's size.

From: Daryl S on 28 May 2010 13:43 When I have used the wizard for the switchboard, it has created more buttons that I needed. It doesn't sound like you have any of those. If you don't have any, then what is making your form so tall? Is the detail section taller than it needs to be? Can you shrink it up? If it won't shrink, then there is something on the form keeping it long. You can put your cursor in the left ruler section and drag a little to see if something is selected. If so, either move it or resize it so you can shrink the form. -- Daryl S "Gntlhnds" wrote: > How would I see these invisible buttons on the form?

From: Gntlhnds on 1 Jun 2010 09:29 None of that helped. I have the detail section set to be just tall enough for one line of items (when viewing it in design view) and using the selection method there wasn't anything else showing up that wasn't supposed to be there. As long as I leave the form with sizeable borders, it will stay the size I want it. As soon as I set the borders to Thin, it becomes extraordinarily tall. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
