Access 2010 Popup Report always matches size of Report Design window

Question

I have always been mystified by how Access popup forms and reports seem to size themselves arbitrarily. Today, I discovered that the report I\'m working on is actually sizi

Answer 1

Yes, that's by design, and why wouldn't it?

With Auto Resize = No, the size of the popup window will be the window size you saved in design view. What else could it be?

If you want the popup window size to adapt to the form/report width, set Auto Resize = Yes. That's the usual way to handle popups.

The height of popup continuous forms/reports will still be determined by the height you save in design view.

Thinking about it, you probably have "tabbed document windows" set in the Access Options for the current database. With this option, you don't really have much control over the window size in design view.
If you must have popups with Auto Resize = No, you probably should switch to "overlapping windows". (I don't know the exact option names since I have a German Access).
