RTB Resizes at Runtime

Hi,
I've a simple form with an RTB, a few text boxes & labels, and a single menu. I've used this code for a few years without problem. But I added a few more labels & text boxes, changed the form size, RTB size, & RTB position.

Now, on running the RTB Vertical size change to cover the whole of the lower form & I lose the horizontal scroll bar.

Has anyone had this problem - I can't see any properties that are different or find any code that would do this.

But I do find if I move the RTB back to close to the top of the form it behaves correctly? Seems a bit weird?

Made me double-check Code, and I find at runtime,
Private Sub Form_Resize()
get's called, even though user hasn't touched the form?

- so why's that

But at least I can get predictable behaviour now

Resize is always called on the form being shown (or maybe just when loaded).
