[AccessD] A2K - Forms not sizing correctly

I do save, Doug.  I've also been burnt by this in the past.
What I have working right now, and I really like because form size basically
will not be a problem even if I forget to save size changes, is adding two
labels to each form and placing my desired size in those labels.
When the form opens I'll pass the caption of those two labels to a function
whose job it is to convert them to twips and run the docmd.movesize
No matter how I save the form it will open to the size specified in the
labels.

My other thought was a table storing all the forms names with two more
columns storing height and width.  Have the function call the size based on
the form name and then run the movesize.

I think I'll go with the labels though.  That way as I work on a form I can
edit the size and all control all at one time rather than being forced to
maintain a table as well.

I don't want to be insulting here, but after you've resized the form
in design view are you saving it or just closing it?  I've been caught
on that before.  It's my impression that sometimes I've had to save a
form twice to lock in the size.
