INF: Horizontal Sizing Controls Availability on Controls
'Article ID: Q90155

Creation Date: 11-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SUMMARY

After placing a control on a form or report, the horizontal sizing controls will be enabled only if the Height property of the control is greater than or equal to .26 inches. The default size for many controls is less than .26 inches, so horizontal sizing points will not appear.

This means it could be very difficult to alter the horizontal size of a control if the Snap To Grip option is enabled, because the slightest movement causes a snap to grid to occur.

One workaround is to temporarily set the size of a control to .26 inches, alter the horizontal size, then reset the Height property to its original value. Alternatively, the Height property can be set as the default for the control. To do this, select a control on the tool bar, display the Properties list, and change the default Height property.
