[AccessD] Forms too wide-able on wide monitor

[Bill Benson]

I thought inside with is a read only property. When I found I was not able
to set that within the form resize event (well I didn’t get a runtime
error, but the value didn’t change either). I then asked ChatGPT if it was
a read only property and it said that it was. On the other hand, ChatGPT is
wrong about so many many things.
