OK good point, I guess I need to describe better.

I have a form, it has continuous forms. each record
displayed is only a half inch deep. and several records
fit on a screen.

on this first form is a command button which opens another
form (I did not actually create a subform and set the
container control sizes.

If the first form is small size, the command button opens
the second form also small. If the first form is maximized
and then you hit the command button ,the second form also
maximizes upon opening.

setting auto size to no doesn't help
putting me,minimize on the on open event property doesn't
help.
