Forms :: Restore Button Available When Form Is Maximized
Jun 6, 2013
I'm using overlapping forms in my Access 2010 database.
When the form(s) open I want them maximized and I don't want the restore buttons to be available.
I have the Min Max Buttons set to None.
I have DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load.
I want the border style set to thing.
Is there any way to prevents the Restore button to be enabled?
I open the first form it's maximized as per the DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load. I then open another form (which has nothing to do with the first form) and it opens maximized. When I close the second form the first form is no longer maximized, it's restored.

:confused:
I have a db app that has all forms maximized continually (I have set the vba code to do so on Open, Close and GotFocus events). From my app Home Page form the user can browse to other forms in the db. When another form is opened the window automaically maximizes. However, when the user navigates back to the Home Page it goes in restore mode. I haven't told it to do this anywhere. I have also tried saving the form stretched out to fit the full screen, so that if it goes into restore mode it at least still fills the screen, but it still reverts to a restored window (about half the screen). It doesn't matter what configuration I use in the AutoResize, AutoCenter properties either.
I have been developing custom db apps in Access for over 8 years. However, this seems to be a stupid (albeit simple) problem that is annoying me. I currently use Access 2003 and this issue is new (or so I believe since I never ran into the problem in previous versions).
Any ideas?
Thanks...

I have a front end that I have distributed to four users. The front end sits on a shared drive and when I make design changes I just replace it and have the users copy it over to their desktops.
I set up a main menu for them to access the various forms, reports, etc. When I first open the front end on my desktop the main menu form is small and not taking up the entire screen. I put the cmd.maximize command in the on open event and still does not maximize the form when I open the database. I tried to size it and saved changes but still not working.
I just did a share session with a user and she opened the form and it was maximized on her desktop.

I have a database with several reports that get constantly printed, however I am having an issue with their display properties that sometimes cause errors.I need the report to come up on top of everything, maximized and with the menu bar available to allow for it to be printed or close it. The report window cannot have "minimize" or "restore" available to make sure nobody access any form behind it.
To achieve this in a form I generally use the modal property, however if I do this in a report I cannot get to the menu bar to print or close the print preview.Thinking that modal was out of the question, I went ahead and maximized the report on load and set its properties to the image attached. The db is then compiled (accde) and then distributed.
On my computer (it is being developed on my machine) the report loads fine (maximized) with no min, max or restore buttons and the print preview menu bar is shown with the print and close buttons available. See "My PC" image attached.On any other computer, the report opens up maximized but the report's restore and close buttons are enabled, however the print and close buttons on the print preview menu bar are greyed out. See "Other PC" image attached.Why the inconsistent behaviour when using the same front end?

Good Afternoon,
I am writting a database and i am have difficulties with forms.
What i need to do is have one form (Main) maximized and the other windows set to a standard size, the main form is always visible the others need to be opened and closed via buttons on the main form and sub forms.
I am not sure if this can be done so any help would be good.

I bet this is a simple one.
I have a form with the on Load command
Docmd.Maximize
On this form I have a button to open another form, this works fine. On the second form I have a button to close the form. When I press this it closes, and the first form is still there which is what I want, but somewhere along the line it has unmaximised itself and is about half the desired size. Basically I want it to stay Maximized the whole time it is open.
The way I can think to get round this is to close and re-open the forms as I navigate through them but just wondering why this is occuring?

Thanks if anyone can offer a suggestion, I cannot find a similar problem described on the forum.
I have a form which runs at startup maximised. Pop-up and Modal are set to 'NO', Auto Resize and Center are also set to 'NO', Border style has been set to various settings, and Moveable has also been tried at 'YES' and 'NO'.
A command button on this form opens another form with the same settings which I want to take the original form's 'place' in the application window.
This all works fine, just that when I close the second window (using DoCmd.Close), the original window is then no longer maximised underneath it. I want to make sure certain windows are maximised at all times.
I know I could hack this with a DoCmd.Maximise somewhere, (or by switiching to full Pop-up/Modal mode and hiding the Application window) but the results of these are all a bit of a hack.
Can anyone shed light on the mysteries of Access's default form maximisation behaviour?
Or does anyone do what I have described successfully?

This is probably very simple and I am wasting time on it so I thought I would ask for a quick fix.
I have a form "Standby" that minimizes when a buton is pressed to open a second form "Filter." This works great. I want the "standby" form to restore to it's original size when I close the "filter" form.
I have tried several options the last being:
under the on close event
Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms!standby.Restore
End Sub
She no worky.
What is the quick solution for this please.

Greetings all.
I've got a minor housekeeping issue with my db that I can't seem to crack.
The db opens to the main form, which has a boat-load of control buttons that open a variety of forms and reports and 1 query.
The problem is that when you select the button that opens the simple query, the query opens in maximized view and then when folks want to close it, they often end up closing the whole db, instead of just the query. (Using the right corner X.)
I'd like to open it about half screen or so, to avoid the accidental closing of the whole database.
I can open the query directly or from the macro and in both instances it opens up the correct window size. But when I use the button it opens maximized.
I've searched the code, can't find any reference to maximize.
Can't find anything in the button properties that would cause it.
Any idea why this is happening or how to get around it? It's probably something simple, but then, so am I. (hehehehe)
Thanks,
BeckieO

Hi All,
I want to load switchboard in maximum view only, but all other forms in a popup like format.
I have the Swithboard_On-Load, docmd.maximize, but when I select a menu item from switchboard that form opens in max-view. If I make that form Popup=Yes, it works, but then any command button [printview] will bring up a form behind the "popup" form.
How can I get just the switchboard to stay in max-view only?
I don't want to have to modify all forms and reports so that "popup"=Yes
Any suggestions.
thanks....

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 a continuous form in which I put a command button for each record called "detail". I would like to click on the "detail" button and make it open another form containing all (and only) the info on this record.
At first I refused to use an "id" to link both forms, but finally I added the "id" in the table... however still does not work.
continuous form: "04 - GASTOS_BUSQUEDA"
id field on continuous form: "Gastid"
pop-up (details) form: "GASTOS_EDITAR"
id on pop-up (details) form: "editar_id"
This is what I have tried on the "click" properties of the "details" button field (called "btn_editgs"):
1)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", acNormal, , "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
2)
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , "[editar_id]=" & Me.Gastid
3)
stLinkCriteria = "[editar_id]=" & Me![Gastid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , stLinkCriteria
4)
Private Sub btn_editgs_Click()
On Error GoTo btn_editgs_Click_Err
Dim strWhere As String
strWhere = "[editar_id] = " & Me.Gastid
DoCmd.OpenForm "GASTOS_EDITAR", , , strWhere
btn_editgs_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
btn_editgs_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume btn_editgs_Click_Exit
End Sub

How can I make a button in a pop-up form to send enter key to a text box in another form? Do I need to set focus to the other form first? And how?

I have a form that uses a query to filter out records to show basic info of records (each one has a unique ID) only pertaining to today that are listed one under the other using a whole row. What I'm looking for is a way to design a button for these filtered records within that row that when clicked, will open up a new form that I've already designed for just that ID.

I am using a table to hold data relating to 3 very similar products, one distinction is that one of these items has a value in that remains constant. If I set this field to have a default value at table design level - all 3 units get this same value, which is incorrect.
I am using continuous forms and if I use VBA code in the Current() event I can prefill the corresponding text field with the default value .... but, it is quite easy to add additional rows without meaning to, the problem here is that if the user creates records in error selection of the record pointer will not permit its removal from within the form - even through AllowDeletions is enabled.
So, if I disable AllowAdditions in the form properties - the form now prevents any new rows being added to the form at all... which is what I expect.
However, I was hoping to add a command button to other form footer for the user to physically confirm before the record is added to the form but I dont know what function to call to add the new record to the form....

I would like to add a button to a form that will print the form with the current record in it. Also, to add a level of difficulty, there are 8 subforms attached to the form. As I already have the form developed, I don't want to reinvent the wheel and go off and create a report with 8 subreports. Is this possible? If so, Can we force all the data on the form to one page?

I have a form called [Add or Edit Tag Numbers]. The primary key for the control source of this form is [TagNumber]. I have created a button on this form that opens a second form, [Add or Edit Calibrations], to a new record and carries the [TagNumber] through to the corresponding field on the [Add or Edit Calibrations] form.
Almost everything works. I click the button and the second form is opened to a new record, with the tag number on the first form carried through to the seond form. The only issue is that when I go back to the first form and try to close it, I get an error saying that I can't save the record. It is error 2169. This is especially strange because even if I exit after seeing this record, additions in both forms are saved. This is the code for the button, called [NewCalibration]
Private Sub cmdNewCalibration_Click()
DoCmd.Save acForm, "Add or Edit Tag Numbers"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Add or Edit Calibrations", acNewRec
Forms![Add or Edit Calibrations]![TagNumber] = [Forms]![Add or Edit Tag Numbers]![TagNumber]
End Sub
How I can avoid getting this message? I would prefer to use a button over a subform.

My programming abilities are mediocre, but not novice.I have a pretty large scale management system to build (more than 40 tables, lots of relationships, forms, etc). One of the structures in the database is the following:
+ Main table
++ Secondary table connected to Main table via FK1.
+++Tertiary table connected to Secondary table via FK2.
The above when making the user interface is expressed as a form (Main Table), a subform (Secondary table) and a subform within the subform (Tertiary table).
I need to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table, the secondary table and the tertiary table. I have already been able to create a button that duplicates the contents of the main table and the secondary table by using Allen Browne's code found online.how do I move forward to embedding in that method the ability to duplicate the contents of the Tertiary Table?

I'm working on a form that I want to insert a plus button/minus button.I am aware of the vba code numbers 107 and 109 if you want to use the actual keys but I would rather use a button.
I made a button and here is the code I used now. This code is numeric box specific. So it only adds one to the MileageStart numeric field. (Additionally you can put a minus in to subtract one).
Private Sub Command153_Click()
MileageStart = MileageStart + 1
End Sub
Instead of having a bunch of these buttons all over boxes on my form is there some code that I can use to "select" a text box and just have the Plus/Minus button on the form header that I would hit and it would add or subtract (and then I could go to another box select it and hit Plus/Minus and so forth).

I am tying to create a cmd btn called "Report" that when clicked opens a form [quick report] in dialog window. I have that done easy enough. But what I want is if that form [quick report] is open, and you click the same button "Report" for it to then close the form.
