When i make the maximized on opening by docmd.maximize, coud i get the form centered too?
right now im just adding form space on the leftside so it comes somewhere in the middle but if somone has a diffrent ressolution then it wont work as well.
I am using the below code to centre a popup form, both horizontally and vertically. All my non-popup forms are 25cm wide. It looks weird that the popup forms appear on the centre of the screen, when the centre of the form is more towards the left. This is especially true in widescreens. How can I alter this code, so that the popup form appears on the centre (horizontally only) of the first 25cm of the screen.
25 cm = 9.8425 in = 14173 twips = 945 pixels
Code:
' API declarations:
#If Win64 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Function apiGetClientRect Lib "user32" Alias "GetClientRect" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpRect As typRect) As Long
Private Declare PtrSafe Function apiGetWindowRect Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowRect" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpRect As typRect) As Long

I have some trouble getting a form to open maximized. This form is opening from a switchboard that is centered and not sizable. After clicking on a command button in the switchboard the form I am having trouble with opens in its own window, but I cannot get it to maximize automatically. I have been to every setting I know on the form properties but for some reason nothing seems to be able to get that form to open maximized.:confused:
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!

I'm a newbie using Access 2007.I am trying to make things as easy as possible for the user of a database that I have been working on. The users maximum screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and I want to have specific forms automatically "maximise" to fit the screen.I have set the Form property "Fit to Screen=Yes" but it does not do what I am expecting and want.I also have "Auto Resize=Yes"

I have quite a few forms and reports in a database that are pop-up and modal. I've also auto centered them so they do not jump all over the screen. However, these forms and reports are centering when you open them but move whenver you close them. I am hiding the database window, which usually means that it minimizes to the upper left corner of the desktop screen. These forms then wind up closing or relocating to where the minimized database window is. Is there any way to fix this problem so that the users see centered forms and reports every time they are using the program?:eek: Thank you

I have created a report with the report wizard in Access 2007 that includes a check box. The check box is located under the label but to the far left side. How can I center the check box under the label?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have in the Form_Load() event, the following command:
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub
It has been fine for several weeks, and today, when I open the form, it does not maximize. Also, there are a few other commands that are not working, connected to macros, plus an "Exit" button that was created using the wizard. I checked all of the code and macros for accuracy and nothing seems to be wrong. I have no idea where to begin looking.
Any clues, helps or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jake
I have read several tips to maximize my reports. The common one is the DoCmd.Maximize. However, when I type this into "On Open" on the properties window in the design mode I get the error message "Can't find the Macro "DoCmd".
How do I fix this?

The database is to track and evaluate call center associate phone calls. I created yes/no fields for multiple common errors (accurate/complete, Security, and client experience. and under each are @ 20 common errors)
(the problem is that I did not create a seperate table for each main category which I think might have made things easier)
Now what I am trying to do is create a report that allows me to show (or select) an error and have it show all the associates that had that error in a given time frame.
I already have a report to show all associates and all the errors that each had in a certain time frame. (so vertically I have associate detail and horizontal I have error detail).
is there a way, without creating 25 separate reports, to show all associates under an error type?
Hello,
I have tried using the following code to maximize my form on open but it is not working, any ideas?
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_Form_Open
DoCmd.Maximize
Exit_Form_Open:
Exit Sub
Err_Form_Open:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Form_Open
End Sub
Ok, this seems really lame to have to post this but in Access2007 none of my form or table windows have Mininize, Maximize, or the ability to resize. There is a Close X but nothing else. Being used to Access2003, I am used to being able to resize the windows or at least minimize them. The properties panel has control for these items but they do not appear when I set the properties to yes.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form that maximizes when it loads and that works fine, but when I run a macro to open it the command is bypassed. Is there a way around this?
I've tried setting the code to run on different events (open/activate) but that didn't change anything.
The reason I want a Macro to open it is so I can set the property to Add only, perhaps there's another way I can do that, perhaps as part on the form open event in VBA instead?
I have a Form [frmLogon] which opens on db open to allow users to logon, once they have entered their username and password they click a cmdbutton which then minimises [frmLogon] and opens form [Navigation Menu].
On close of form [Navigation Menu] how can I get [frmLogon] to restore to its original open state from being minimised.By the way i have to keep [frmLogon] open as it provides an OpenArgs reference to another form for security data!
I created autoexec macrro. But when i open the form as a dialog box it doesn't show minimize and maximize button.. it only shows close button so what should i do..Also i want to create the log in form as well..So here is what i want
1) when i open the database it shows me log in box and if i put right password and username
- if i put wrong password it should keep promoting me until i put right login details and this login shouldn't be displaying the close button otherwise users can easily access through database.
2) the navigation form should be pop up.
I have created a report with a subreport for my database. The user selects the project for which he/she wants to see a report. Once the project is selected, the report is displayed in a popup window and maximized in the print preview layout. This allows the user to view and read the report. Once this is done, there are no buttons or menus on the screen that allows the user to send the report to a printer or file.
Other than the report, there are minimize / maximize and close buttons at the top right of the window and page selection buttons at the bottom left of the window. If the user wants to print the report, they must either hit ctrl-P or right click the mouse on the screen to display a menu from which the user can select print to open a print dialog box. Is there any way to add a button or menu to the print preview that appears on the screen to make printing easier?
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I am trying to create a user form with sub form using the form wizard. I have only 2 tables, Employee (main table) and Vacation (subform table). I pick the fields from Employee Table then fields fro Vacation, but the wizard treat the Vacation as main form and Employee as sub form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a fault form which the user enters details of a fault. When the fault form is submitted the data is saved in the relevant table and the form is cleared so that the user can enter the next fault. On the fault form i have a subform which displays the faults previously entered by the user. I want the user to be able to click on an entry in the subform and open the orignal fault form and see the data that had been entered. How can i create this functionality??
