Max,
Do you have Large Fonts as your windows settings?
If so it is a know Designer bug, that the form will resize and try and draw everything in proportion.

>I have a VB.NET base form, QLDForm, which inherits mmBusinessForm. This is the base for generic table maintenance forms. On this form there is a tab control which is anchored to all four sides so that it will stretch with the form. The tab control contains 3 tabs, Query, List, and Details which do what the say. On the List tab I have a blank space for an mmDataGrid to be placed on the subclass form which will be anchored to all four sides so that it can stretch with the tab. To the right of the grid I have mmButtonNew and mmButtonDelete which are anchored top right. Similarly I have a "Query" mmButton anchored bottom right on the Query tab and mmButtonSave and mmButtonCancel anchored bottom right on the Details tab.

>I create a form CustomerForm which inherits QLDForm. I can build my app and run this without adding any other controls and it works great UNLESS I change the size of the form during design. If I do that then all the command buttons move out of view off the right edge of the form.
>
>After first creating the CustomerForm, the tab control and all three tabs have Size property inherited from the parent QLDForm. If I look at the generated code in CustomerForm.vb there is no code to set the size property for these controls. Once the size is altered during design and I get code to set the size I'm cooked.
