Hi,

I have about 4 forms that have the same type of elements, which include
option boxes, text boxes, ect. On one form (and only one of them) there is a
huge space at the bottom between the query and the last part of the form's
repeating section that isn't present in design view that only appears on the
form and in preview mode. I tried very hard to figure out what causes it but
can't. I did however notice that the size of the gap matches perfectly the
amount of space that is used when you expand all of the "view only if" type
areas. When those are expanded out there is no gap. Problem is that the gap
exists all the other times.

I have no idea where to try to look next. I'll answer any questions if they
might help fix my problem. It's very confusing to me because the other form
have the exact same kinds of boxes and properties, but they don't have the
gap below the form. Thanks for any help!

Hello

Can you explain a little bit more where exactly are you seeing the White
space. Is it between the text box in a repeation section and the lower border
of the repeating section. Try changing the values for the Lower margins in
the repeating section properties.

At the bottom of the form right below the repeating section; in the space
after it but before the query section that automatically appears on a new
form created from a database connection is where the gap is. (Unless somehow
the gap is in the repeating section at the bottom; it's hard to tell since
the gap does not appear in design mode; only in the form and preview mode.)
I've checked the margins on the elements inside the form and can't find one
with "issue". I'm thinking I might switch the repeating section's lower
margin to "auto" and see if that helps.
