Default Data Form to large

I am using Excel 2003. When I open my data form to review records in my
worksheet the form is wider than my screen. Can I resize the form?

Are you talking about the built-in Form you access from DataForm?

I have never seen such a phenomenom with that Form.

Or one you have created?

In which case, you control that when creating it.

Yes I am refering to the built in Data Form. I have 32 columns which forces
the data form to create two columns. I have done some tests and it appears to
be driven by the width of the columns in my database.

You are correct in your assumption.

32 fields is maximum allowed in a data from.

The width of the form is governed by the width of the columns.

I learn something new every day.

My only suggestion is to truncate some of the field widths.
