    You know when you got a normal window you can go to one of the corners and then the mouse pointer changes to an arrow which you can then drag and change the size of the window.

    When I create a new form this option is disabled and I couldn't find where to enable it.

    Thanks,
    Ron.

    It's the BorderStyle property. This can only be set in design time, not at runtime.
    Pick one of the "sizable" options.

    Hi Lavolpe ,

    Well Ive tried to make a macro including only one form,then I played with the setting you talked about but I didn't got the result I wanted and couldn't change the size of the window while running.

    Can you think about something else causing this?

    Ron.

    Re: form size change enable

    Macro? What language are you using? Is this VB6, VBA, .Net, something else?

    You may want to post the code you are using to create the form.

    Re: form size change enable

    I believe you are using VBA (VB within Microsoft Office)? If so, you may want to search the "Office Development" forum for keywords like "resizable userform". There does not appear to be a property to enable sizing, so a workaround would be needed.

    Here is a link that may apply to your situation, found by googling.
