Display Size
Jan 24, 2006Is it possible when loading a control form to set the users default display size to say 1024x768. I'm creating quite a complex form and it will be too large on an 800x600 display.

Display Size Of Forms With Different Monitors
Jan 2, 2007I just change from a 1024x768 monitor to a 1600x1200. Now my database is squished due to the smaller pixel size and it is uncomfortably small. How can I adjust the DB to "fit" the new display, or any other monitor resolution setting.

Dec 28, 2005Hello,
I have designed a bunch of forms that the user will access through the Switchboard. Things are working fine except that when I deployed the application to a different machine from mine, the forms appear to not display properly in the sense that they are appearing too big and the user needs to scroll horizontally to see it completely (which was not the case in my machine).
So, I just want to know if there is a setting that enables the forms to resize per the machine being dipalyed on or if I should have designed the form within a particular size that ensures that they displayed properly in most machine (fyi, most of my forms had a total horizontal width of about 9 on the horizontal ruler in form design view).
Any guidance is much appreciated. thanks.

Aug 29, 2005Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

MDB Size
May 10, 2007I'm trying to create an mdb that is well over 2 gig and everytime it gets to 2 gig, I get an Invalid argument statement. Is there any way to bypass this process and create an mdb in excess of 2 gig? I've tried linking tables, queries, etc and I have also compacted and this mdb is simply that big.

May 20, 2005I'm still in design phase but I'm going to have more than 30 tables. I know I'm going to have a pretty good number of forms, queries and reports. Should I start preparing for the worst in case this db gets too big? What kind of techiques can I use to make sure that it still runs quickly enough?
Thanks

Field Size
Jun 9, 2005I have a query that consists of three fields. This query is then placed in a form. I would like to set the physical length of my fields because one field consists of 4 digit numbers (I want the size of this to be relatively small) and the other two field consist of categories (field that need more space so that the user may see each letter of the category) Please help.

Jun 14, 2005In the time-honoured fashion of reducing the size of the front end of a db I imported everything into a new db. The size reduced from 32mb to 17mb. Success.
When I change anything, no matter how small, in the new db, it immediately increases in size back to 32mb. I always compact on exit.
This is annoying, rather than a major problem.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a “feature” of Access?

DB Ballooning In Size!
Apr 4, 2007Hey guys,
I'm not sure what happened, but my database size has gone from about 60MB to 290MB. I have added about 10 new records and had an AuditTrail function keeping track of history. I had problems with too many entries in this field, so I deleted the field and started fresh. I have also tried to compact and repair the database. Can anyone give me some light on this situation?
Access Size
Dec 20, 2007I will like to know if access can store a lot of data. I am using a database that was written in access and the database has been in use since like 2004. How long can we still use this database. It is becoming slow and having one or two error messages.

Mar 11, 2008Hi, I am new ( as of today) to this forum. I have been using Access for a few years following on from using Q&A. I manage a database for membership for a club and more recently designed my own database for another personal application. Last weekend I did a full backup on a new laptop I have that has both Access 2003 and 2007 on it ( I don't use the 2007 version at the moment) and following that most of the databases, including backups have gone to zero kb in file size. I tried a system restore to no avail. I can see the files but they are 0kb in size and won't open. Does anyone have any idea why this should happen and more importantly how (if) I can resolve it ?. The laptop has Vista as the O/S.
Kind Regards & greetings from a wet and windy Dublin,

Message Box Size
Oct 4, 2005Hello out there
I have a query to be conditioned by an input to a messsage box. An example could go like this:
SELECT [Quote politician].rubbish, [Quote politician].garbage, [Quote politician].bullshit
FROM [Quote politician]
WHERE [Quote politician].rubbish Like [Type the words or quotes of rubbish which your favourite politician has babbled];
The message box is not big enough to accomodate this long instruction. Is it possible to enlarge it?

Re-size AcDialog Box
Aug 25, 2005I use the Docmd.open form with acDialog parameter as I need to interrupt the code for the user to select some information before proceeding. Is there anyway to control the size of the dialog box as currently in a continuous form format, it only shows 3-4 records. The screen is large enough to hold probably 10+ comfortably. There are vertical scroll bars but I would like the dialog box to open with more than 4 records showing.
Thanks

Any ideas?
