[AccessD] Continuous form won't hold size

Susan,

Maybe I don't understand what you're talking about either.  If you only
have one record, it can only display one record. A continuous form
should show all the records it can fit in the space.  Is that not what's
happening?

I don't have a Resize command, only Size to Fit Window. My records are
only one row in depth, so changing the Detail section creates huge holes
between records. That's probably not what you meant. Regardless of what
I resize or in what order, it goes back to that one record display. :( I
probably don't understand what you're talking about here.
