Expanding Form Layout after Q&A Translation

After having Sesame sitting on my shelf for an embarassing long time I am finanly moving over from Q&A.

I tranlated a database over from Q&A 5. and all went well without errors. However the translated form looks somewhat compressed. I went into the Desinger to expand the size of my elements in my form but all my fields were contained within a large rectangle and I did not have much room to expand the size of my elements. For the life of me, I could not determine how to get rid of this rectangle nor could I move by elements outside of it. I did not have any Q&A line drawing in the original databease so that is not the issue.

The application runs fine in Sesame 2.5 but I wish I could expand the size of my field entry elements and make my eyes happier.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

MrBear

Also attached to this post is a quick makeover document for translated Q&A databases. It was written for Sesame 1 so some of the screenshots may not look exactly the same, but it should get you going in the right direction.
