Hey guys,
I know how to maximize a form when it opens, but I was wondering if there isn't a way to actually shrink down the Access app window to specified dimensions when it opens the form? I'm trying to write a dimension-specific app, so there is no distortion what-so-ever. thanks!
I have been running 2003 on XP SP2 for some time but a couple of days ago I needed to do a 'detect and repair' on Word but without resoring defaults. When I opened Access, the Properties Window was back to its default (small) size and couldn't be resized. An uninstall/reinstall made no difference.
Has anybody got any idea what might have happened and what I can do to put it right? I usually have it the height of the screen and this is driving me nuts!
I'm working on an MS Access app.
The clients use this app with their monitor resolution set to 800 x 600.
Whenever I edit a form I need to set my screen resolution to 800 x 600 to make sure the form is within bounds.:mad:
I wan't a fast way to set the Main Access Window's size too 800 x 600 pixels.
Application.DoCmd.MoveSize(,,800,600) is supposed to work but I get a syntax error.
Any ideas?:confused:
I have create a form with specific dimensions whowever when I view it it is larger than it should be.
Whats wrong?
In my db, I have a form set to open on start.
Is there anyway to set this to auto resize Maximize? (if you know what I mean)
Thanks again,
Pujo

Every time I open my database the windows like to resize themselves. How do I remedy this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't get my columns on a form to resize and have the rest of the columns move along with it. So e.g. if I have a form with headers and under that a couple of records, I want to resize the middle of three columns. If I select the column and then select, with shift, also the column header, I can resize the column. But the column on the right side doesn't move along with it. So I have to reposition every column after the resized one.How can I get Access to pick up that I want to move the other columns too?

Does anyone know what command will allow Access to pull Dimensions from Explorer into a Query?
I wish to have a query that will illustrate the exact Dimension of an image file (Jpeg). This will enable me to filter all images which do not meet my internet standard of 100x100 dpi and/or 300x300 dpi.
Your help is much appreciated. :D
Hello,
I'm trying to build a personnal budget application.
I need to build a form that looks like a grid.
On the first column, you will see the different budgets elements
On the top line (headers), you should see the different months of the comming year.
I already managed to build the necessary tables (with 2 keys in the table source for the form).
My questions are the following:
1) how can I build a forms that looks like a spreadsheet, proposing me every cells from the start (not only the cells that i have filled before)?
2) how can I make for this form to be dynamic ? This means that, if I add a budget element in the budget elements table, how can I make the form to be adapted automatically, adding a line under the others, for every months?
I have asked severall other forums, no one could answer me.
thanks for your help.

I am relatively new to this. I am trying to design a database and need to store data in three dimensions. I have a list of faculty members at our university and need to record data about their salaries and the courses they teach. However, I also need to keep a record for each semester as well. I would like to have the faculty + salaries + courses laid out in a "Fall 2012 Semester" table, for example, and then stack the "Spring 2013" semester table on top of it, etc to make one three-dimensional table.
Otherwise, it appears that I will have to create a separate table for each semester and repeat the list of faculty members.
Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.
Hi grus!!!

Do you have any idea on how to get back the switchboard as on the first pic??
Thanks to all

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.

Just wondering if there's an easy way in Access 2000 to resize listbox columns if necessary to show all information - like you can in a table by clicking, or by the columns autoformatting. Thanks for your help.
Hi People,
Whilst at college was positive there was some coding, to automatically re-size the form when opening?? can anyone help with this, have spoken to a few people and they say to change in design view but i am finding this annoying. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I can't seem to size any of my charts to 100% of their object's size. I've attached screen shots of a chart in Design View, the chart properties, Chart Design View, and Print Preview. I've tried all of the Size Mode options.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have seen and created combo boxes that resize when clicked to fit the size of the data inside. That is, the bound column might be a small string, like a in-house code (i.e. "aa", "ab", "bb" etc), but the combo box, when opened, expands to show the code in one column and the definition of what that code actually means in another to be all user friendly like.
I am trying to do this again, but I can't seem to get the box to expand when clicked. I have looked at a form where the box does expand, checked the settings (there was no code behind the other (sub) form), but I can't see why that combo box gets bigger and mine won't. I googled and for some reason can't find the answer to this question. It must be something obvious. What's going on?
I should just make the column larger, but this was requested to be added to a form after the fact, and everything would just be... nicer if I could get it to behave this way.
Under Current Database, I have "Overlapping Windows" checked. When I open a table, it opens to pretty wide. Then I resize it so that it takes up less space. After resizing, whether I click Save or not, after closing, then reopening the same table, it opens back to its original size (very wide), instead of opening at the smaller size that I resized the table to.
Is it possible to resize a table, and get it to open at that size next time you open that particular table?
Hi..
Is there anyone can help me?
how to create a form that automatically can make the form longer when user click a button?
thank you..
I have a pop up form that appears (with a beep) when a condition occurs. I would like that form to appear on top of all other window applications.
Access is an active application but the pop up form is hidden if other applications are in use.
Is there a way to have the pop up window appear on top?
Any help would be appreciated.
How do I keep a form window always on top? Thanks..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a pop-up form that is coded through VBA to open on certain button clicks. I would like this form to always open in the top-left corner of the window. For the life of me, I can't find anyway to specific in access where the form should open when called...
Is there a way to specify this? Or does access simply determine that itself? (arbitrarily it seems...)
I am creating a database and need to produce a report that will form an itemised quotation.There can be up to 8 items on the quotation along with their associated costs to the customer. I am trying to make the "item" field dynamically expand if necessary when longer text is entered into it and then expand the corresponding "Totals" fields to match the new size.I have tried using the "Can Grow" property however for some reason the formatting does not cascade down to the fields below and the "Totals" fields remain the same size.
To try and explain better I have included a screen shot of the relevant part of the report and how it looks when printed. I should point out that the "QuotesQuote" box at the top of the screen is set to "Can Grow" and when that expands the boxes below automatically move to accommodate this.
Any way to copy files from a camera, to a new location using the dialog window and then resizing them before they reach there new destination. The selecting and copying them works fine, but I cannot find a way of resizing them in... or after the copying process.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a report that includes 4 subreports. The subreports are displaying survey results from 4 different survey channels. New survey data is added to the tables monthly so the subreports will grow in size. Is there a way to have the subreports automatically resize and push down the subreport below? Currently what is happening is a subreport will grow and the additional data disappears underneath the next subreport. Is there a better way to create a report that displays information from multiple reports that will change in size?
