It would, but the clients don't like maximize (I don't either).

Would DoCmd.Maximize in the open event solve that?

I mean cropped I guess.  All the control are normal size and are all
available if I drag the right side border to the right.
If the form is supposed to be 4" tall by 6" wide (for example) it is opening
4" tall by 3" wide.  The user can drag to the border and for the rest of
that session that form will remain at the newly created size.  However, the
next time it opens the forms are all back to 4*3

"However, the forms are being shrunk to where only 1/3 to 1/2 is visible. "
You mean cut off?  Cropped?  Or shrunk so you see the whole form but it's
squeezed?

None.  There has never been any resizing code used.  Never even tried it.
I've wondered if it would work here.
However, if the form can't even keep it's default size could resizing code
help.

What resizing code are you using?  ADH?

An app that has worked perfectly for years has developed a problem with
forms not sizing as designed.

A2K.  Windows 7, but I do all the A2K work in Win XP (Win XP mode on the Win
7 machine).
I open and look at every form and the sizes are perfect.  In design view
there is no extra room around the control unless I want it so.  The form
edges are exactly where I want them.
However, the forms are being shrunk to where only 1/3 to 1/2 is visible.  It
is almost always shrunk horizontally (in fact I think it is always
horizontally).
Not all forms - only 9 out of about 115 forms are doing this.

Any thoughts?
(maximizing all forms does correct it, but not really an option as my
clients (as well as myself) hate maximized forms)

Thank you.
