Default Outlook 2007 Custom Form hell.... keeps going really wide?

We just upgraded to office 2007, our custom form, which replaces the standard email one, and ads a text box to enter in a project number for filing, then does some vb work to modify the category of the email etc, seemed to work fine.

However we can't forward emails (http://office-outlook.com/outlook-fo...8/0/#msg_59908) and for some reason the form keeps going reallly wide or really small

See these photos:

(note the scroll bars)

I've tried a number of things, the latest of which was to just re-create the form from scratch, in 2007. So I opened the form, and resized the subject bar, then clicked run this form - bang it was really wide again.

What on earth is the problem? Why can't I resize text boxes in an outlook form without the whole page going wide. It's frustrating me immensley!

Sorry to raise your hopes - this is not an answer. I am having similar
control sizing problems - did you ever get to the bottom of this problem?
