[AccessD] Continuous form won't hold size

How kind of you to say so. Care to amplify on just what it is that offends you?

I use this routine to define how many rows to display in a continuous form.
It gets called on the form's Open event. I usually use it for sub-forms, but it works for forms on their own: just be sure not to maximize the form or it will just show however many rows fill the screen.

Lambert - code follows

Sub SetFormRows(f As Form, nRows As Integer) Dim nFormFinalHeight As Long Dim nSectionHeight As Long
   On Error Resume Next
   nSectionHeight = f.Section(acHeader).Height
   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
      nSectionHeight = 0
      Err.Clear
   End If
   nFormFinalHeight = nFormFinalHeight + nSectionHeight

   nSectionHeight = (f.Section(acDetail).Height * nRows)
   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
      nSectionHeight = 0
      Err.Clear
   End If
   nFormFinalHeight = nFormFinalHeight + nSectionHeight

   nSectionHeight = f.Section(acFooter).Height
   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
      nSectionHeight = 0
      Err.Clear
   End If
   nFormFinalHeight = nFormFinalHeight + nSectionHeight

    f.InsideHeight = nFormFinalHeight
    On Error GoTo 0 ' turn normal error trapping back on End Sub
