Rocky I had something similar occur and I adapted the ADH code to do the resizing of evey control, then passed through the forms collection, calling it to do each form then saving it. I've been looking for the code and can't seem to find it, but essentially that's what it did: -loop through the forms collection -open each form -apply the resizing -save and close the form I had to fiddle with the resizing ratios but once I got it working on one form it did the trick.
