Hi. Just wanted to confirm your findings... Is it really the Auto Center that's causing you the problem, or is it the Auto Resize one? Just curious...
MS Access form not showing up correct width
![](data:image/svg+xml, %3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' height='64' class='font-weight-bold' style='font: 600 30.11764705882353px "SegoeUI", Arial' width='64'%3E%3Ccircle fill='hsl(38.4, 47%, 13%)' cx='32' cy='32' r='32' /%3E%3Ctext x='50%25' y='55%25' dominant-baseline='middle' text-anchor='middle' fill='%23FFF' %3EK%3C/text%3E%3C/svg%3E)

I never had this issue in older versions of Access and I don't use Access all that much any more for development work. I'm doing a few things for older clients in Access 2016. I've noticed that sometimes a modal form will resize randomly. It doesn't show up the width I set. Any ideas why this is happening? I've played with various settings and nothing seems to help.
Thank you,
Keith
