Hi,

I have an issue with a combo box and radio button.

Anytime I click on either of them, they reduce in size.

It's as if it is reducing by the same ratio every time until you can't click on it anymore.

Has anyone ever seen this happening before?

I'd post a picture, but I'm don't have rights to attach anything.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eoin
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Yep I was having this problem, but only when I was working with the file from home. Maybe it's a VPN issue?

Anyway, my solution was probably not the most efficient, but I put the controls on a UserForm and moved on!

Yes, I've seen this before - these are ActiveX controls on a sheet - yes?
Use form controls instead, though they are less flexible. There is a way to resize/reposition activeX controls, for example with its click-event:
Code:
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
With OptionButton1
    .Top = 16
    .Left = 476
    .Height = 25
    .Width = 90
End With
'other code here.
End Sub

Thanks guys..

I can't use form controls instead as what I am doing won't work with them.

It is only happening on 1 colleagues PC and it is only happening after I resized her screen resolution from 1024x768 to 1680x1050...when we changed the screen size to 1024x768, it worked fine.

So, it seems to me that this is something related to the graphic card? Could this be the case?

Thanks again for your help.
