Frame with caption formula: size changes

Hello,

I am using a frame with caption formula, so the user can open or close that specific frame with help info. I set the size of the frame to 65 pixels.

A strange thing occurs each time the frameset is opened, and the user clicks on the arrow to close the frame and clicks once again to open it. When the database is closed and opened again, the size of the frame is about 50. When the user closes and opens the frame again, closes the database and opens it again… the frame is only about 35 pixels.

This keeps on occuring until the frame has 0 pixels and is not shown. If the frame is opened once again, it has it original number of pixels again (65).

I tested this in bookmarks.nsf in the frameset Qlinks1 (it has the launch pad at the bottom) and the same thing occurs here.

Has someone has an explanation or solutions for this?

Thanks!

You didn’t mention what release you are on. I’ve seen this come and go and never found a water-proof explanation of what was happening. How did you provide the width of the other frame? A relative width of 1 seemed to give the best results for me.

I have R6.5.5

The frameset has 3 frames.

The left frame with the outline: width 300 pixels

The right part of the window is divided in 2 frames.

Top frame: width 1 relative, height 80 relative

Bottom frame: width 1 relative, height 65 pixels

Thanks!
