Some of my forms I needed to set to popup because I reference
the calling form in the onclose of the popup form.
I've now changed all my forms to to no popups and simply check
if the underlying form is open in the onclose.
It seems to be working fine.

I need to switch my db to Overlapping forms in order to make any changes to the
size to begin with.

correct. if you use tabbed forms, then your forms will be the size your "users" choose. With so many different sized monitors, this is a potential good choice. Note that with the new anchored controls, those controls will now actually expand/contract based on the users screen size (this is new feature for 2007). So, we now have the ability to have controls grow or shrink like .net developers have. This means for larger monitors we can display more data on a screen.

However, in your case, we are NOT using tabbed view, but overlapping windows.

That being the case, then set in the properties ***

auto-resize to no.

(resize = yes will mess with your form size).

I also suggest you consider to re-size the form in VIEW mode. Size the form to exactly how you want, and then hit ctrl-s to save. If at this point your form is the right size and you DO NOT want users to be able to change that form, then now flip back into design mode change the forms border to "thin" and save again.
