Sounds like you may have a font size / scaling issue. Can you try setting the form's Scaled property to False. This will display the form and its controls at the same size as when they were designed, but the controls may clip data - because the font size may be different.
Alternatively, you may want to set the form's AutoSize property to True - this will resize the form so that all controls are visible. This works if the form is designed like a dialogbox, with fixed controls.
