Sounds like you set the anchors wrong.
What you described should work with the following anchors:

Large panel:
Top- Left- and Right-Anchor: Form
Bottom-Anchor: Fixed panel

Fixed panel:
Botom-, Left- and Right-Anchor: Form
Top-Anchor: NULL!!

That way, the bottom/fixed panel should always keep its height.

Best regards,
Andreas
