Me.W is the width of the form, which is a property and not a function. So if
you want to resize the DataView to the dimensions of the Form minus 14 each,
you would do:

DataView1.Resize(Me.W - 14, Me.H - 14)

It may be that you need to resize the DataSource, too, as it is the
immediate parent of the DataView. I don't know, just try a little bit.
