I created a form which fits to my screen resolution. When I open it through an another computer which has different screen resolution then my form is opening according to my 1st screen resolution.
I wanted to fit the form resolution to the desktop on which it it opening. Is it possible?
How to set the form the screen resolution on which the form is opening.
Hello this is my first post in the definetely best Access & VBA forum on the net and i hope i am in the correct forum to ask this.
I would like to know if there is any way in access to change the size of the for my users view according to their screen's resolution.
E.g. i am creting the form using 1280 x 1024 resolution and my users have 1024 x 768 resolution how go i make the form adapt to their res.
Thanks for any replies :D
Is there a way a form can resize themselves depending on the screen resolution different computers use??
View 3 Replies View RelatedI couldnt find a search facility to see if this had been covered before, so apologies if it has been answered before.
I have created an application in Access (2002) which from the users side of things will start in a form and give them no access to the back end.
Unfortunately, it is entirely possible that different users will have their screens set at different resolutions and so the application will be unusable on some and too small on others.
I was wondering if it was possible for access to automatically resize according to the users screen resolution.
I have searched the MS Knowledge Base and help files etc, but I think it is looking less likely that it is possible. Creating 5 or 6 different versions for different screen resolutions would be a none option.
Thanks for reading.

I want to place a text box at the right bottom corner of a form. I tried but its position is changing as per moinitor sizes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter a user completes a form, they click a button at the end that uploads the information the back-end database and creates a PDF copy using the DoCmd.OutputTo function. It has been working fine, but one user just had an issue where the form was very zoomed in and cut off. So I have 2 questions:
1) What is the cause of this problem? Is it based on screen resolution?
2) Is there a way to fix the problem to make sure it does not happen?
I hope I can explain this clearly.
I have a subform that has a lot of information and I was wondering
if there is a way to make the subform appear as if one turned up the
resolution, thus making it's contents smaller, allowing me to pack more info
in it. I would love to leave the size of the main form alone.
I'm using Access 2000.
The sub form is currently displayed as datasheet.
Is there anyway to diasble the window that has the circle in the left hand. When I open my database I just want the form to open. I dont want the window with the toolbars to open it jus gets in the way an is more of a hassle to deal with.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a Multi Search Screen and just do not know how to achieve this. what I want the application to do is:
1) I Created a main form for data entry called 'Orderfrm'
2) The Orderfrm Field EmpNo - I created a Search Button.
3) Users to enter the Employee No or Surname or FirstName (multisearch) and hit the search button to search for the relevant employee.
4) I would like then to open a 'SearchFrm' with the details of the employee.
5) If it is more than one employee - the system to list them all
6) users will select the correct employee details and finally the system to autofill the details in 'OrderFrm'
I am attaching the database.
I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.
Is there anyway to bring up the on screen keypad or on screen keyboard from Access when running Windows 8 on the desktop? It would really be useful if someone was on a tablet wanting to input data in a text box if could automatically invoke the onscreen keyboard. By default when running applications on the desktop in Windows 8, one has to manually bring it up. I would like to include a touch option so every time wanted to enter data, they would not have to manually touch display keyboard option. A number pad like in excel for iPad would be even better. If text field would bring up keyboard, if number field, it would bring up number pad.

I have a database that logs people in and out. Works great unless the user minimizes the navigation page and clicks the X on the main Access Page. I have to keep the minimize button active on my nav page.
Is it at all possible to disable the main access page for the user?
If not, is it at all possible to set a logout macro to the X button on the main page?
If not, is it at all possible to set a logout macro to activate on "Quit Access"?
Is there a means of making an application grow/shrink to accommodate different screen sizes? eg. not all users of a distributed application will necessarily have the same screen size.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new computer. It came with a GIGANTIC (for me) 19 inch monitor.
Here's the question. What resoution should I set the screen to?
I make databases for others.
If my forms are too big for their monitors they have to use the scroll bars all the time.
If my forms are too small it doesn't look professional.
Advise greatly appreciated.
Is there a way to have the same printing options for a chart in access as in excel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Append Query that I developed and am wanting to use the SQL View statement in a piece of VBA code that I am writing. The problem is that it is not working.
Here is the SQL View when I am in Query Design View.
Code:INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList ( AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec] )SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpecFROM TEMPAcctWHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));
Here is the code I have in VBA...
Code:Dim strSQL As StringstrSQL = "INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList (AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec]) "strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpec "strSQL = strSQL & "FROM TEMPAcct "strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));"DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
The code runs fine in that no errors are generated, but it does not append the records. When I run the query outside of VBA, it does append the records. Is there something special that needs to be done with an action query for the SQL statement to work in VBA?
I have a form that has a bar down the left side of my form that is right next to the navaigation bar. It has a arrow pointing toward the form. If I click on it nothing happens. Don't know what it is and would like to get rid of it if possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All
I am looking for a method to shift a small pop-up window around on the screen. I want to avoid the overlap with the help function, which is an external program.
I already tried this code in the form:
Me.Left = Screen.Width / 2.5
But a form does not seem to have the property .Left or .Top.
Does anyone have the solution?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that is too big to view on one screen without scrolling down, is it possible to shrink it so that I can view it all, similar to the facility in Exel? I have tried the Scale & Resize MDE solution that is suggested in the threads but this only resizes your original to fit other screen resolutions - neat idea but it is not what I want as it still shows the original form nut pro-rata to the screen size.
I am not distributing the app so anything I do local to my machine to get it to work is fine.
Could somebody please tell me how to set the size that my form will appear when loaded, because it's really annoying me trying to get them to appear at the size I want.
