  Yeah, tab forms and subforms sometimes don't resize right with the ADH code
  - although I've never found anything better.  On tab and subform forms I'll
  set up variables for the size and location - sub-forms only seem to need
  height adjusted:

  Dim sglSubFormHeight As Single

  Dim sglTabPagesHeight As Single
  Dim sglTabPagesTop As Single
  Dim sglTabPagesWidth As Single
  Dim sglTabPagesLeft As Single

  I modified the resizing code to put the x and y resizing factors into global
  variable gsglFactorX and gsglFactorY.

  Then in the open event where I'm doing the resizing I save the values of
  those properties, resize, and then force the sizes of those objects :

      sglSubFormHeight = Me.subfrmWorkOrderAutomation_Create.Height

      sglTabPagesHeight = Me.TabPages.Height
      sglTabPagesTop = Me.TabPages.Top
      sglTabPagesWidth = Me.TabPages.Width
      sglTabPagesLeft = Me.TabPages.Left

      Application.Echo False
      Call adhScaleForm(Me, 800, 600, 96, 96, rctOriginal)
      If DLookup("TurnScreenResizingOff", "tblPreferences") = False Then
          Me.TabPages.Height = sglTabPagesHeight * gsglFactorY
          Me.TabPages.Top = sglTabPagesTop * gsglFactorY
          Me.TabPages.Width = sglTabPagesWidth * gsglFactorX
          Me.TabPages.Left = sglTabPagesLeft * gsglFactorX
          
          Me.subfrmWorkOrderAutomation_Create.Height = sglSubFormHeight *
  gsglFactorY
      End If

  Subject: [AccessD] another tab control issue

  I have a form with a tab control that has worked normally for years in
  Access 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2007.   It has text boxes,  list boxes, labels
  and buttons on each of the 7 pages on the tab control.   

  I use ADH scaling code (been using it since Access97) and it has always
  worked fine.  On this particular form in Access2010, the scaling is screwed
  up -- the tab control is much wider than it should be, so that the rest of
  the controls end up in the wrong location and some are off screen.  I have
  other forms with similar tab controls in this database that scale correctly.

  If I do not use the scaling code, the form appears normal (just small).

  I've tried creating a new form and pasting the controls and code into it.
  I've tried decompilng.

  Has anyone seen this behavior?  Any suggestions?
