If I set the Form arraignment to 'fill' it fills the entire form with
the close button.
I have the DataView inside a dataSource with the arraignment prop set to
'fill' which works, but only resizes the dataView to the size of the
dataSource not the Form window when maximized.

Should I have not put the dataView inside the dataSource and just put on
the form??
How do I stop the close button from filling the entire form?

Would like to try Tobias suggestion but I am unsure of the syntax.
DataView1.Resize = Me.W(600) ??? suggestions?
