View RepliesI 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!!!!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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"

Ok, so I have this table (tblPayPeriod) with the fields Start Date, Stop Date, Pay Period & Percent FY. The Percent FY field is a Number field that gives off the percent of the fiscal year (FY) that we are in.
Then I have a report (rptDistrictMgr) that in the header I want it to display what percent of the fiscal year we are in based on the Auto_Date that is in the header.
So, if the Auto_Date is December 17, 2014, we are (according to tblPayPeriod) 24.1% into the fiscal year and I want the 24.1% to display in the text box which called Text99.
I would just like a simple dlookup that I can use as the control source of the text box or an expression to put into the On Load sequence.
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.
im try to close a form called "new job" and re-maxmise Form "main switch board"

Hi,
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?

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.

I have 1 form lets call it Form1 which has a text box called say textBox1(along with many other form components), the will find record they want and then click a button, which i want to open a new different form (Form2) and set a text box on that form (textBox2) to the value of the textBox in Form1.
Dim tmp As String
tmp = VolunteerID.Value
DoCmd.OpenForm "Comment", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acWindowNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
'To obtain that varibale was read.
MsgBox (tmp)
'Not sure if this is needed

VolunteerID2.Text = tmp
Cheers in advance
Hi Guys
How do I load a form from another form? I would prefer to use VB (in fact, its probably the only way you can do it!). I have tried varius commands that would have worked in VB - but dont work in Access, like...
Code:Unload MeLoad Form_tblClientsForm_tblClients.show
The above code does not work AT ALL. It gets an error at the Unload Me line, an error at the Load Form_tblClients line, and the action 'Show' does not even exist under Form_tblClients, so that wont work either!
I am aware of Switchborads, but i want to know how to load a form, and make it pop up in a new window from within another form.
Hello,
I have a OLE Object field in my Access table. It has a blob (long binary data) already in it. It is a very small .bmp image. How do I get this image from the table loaded in a form to it displays the image? I tried setting this value to a image box, bound object field on form load but nothing is working. Any help would be great. Thanks

I only have one table that both forms pull from.
I have 3 forms. The only form a user will ever see is F_Main
F_MAIN (Just loads the 2 forms below within itself)
F_Data_Short (Grid View.. Rows and Columns.. All Records.. Shows some fields)
F_Data_Long (Single Record View.. Showing all fields)
F_MAIN
-> On the left is F_DATA_SHORT
-> On the Right is F_DATA_LONG
How can I set it.. When a record on the left included form is clicked.. it loads that same record on the right included form. No pop ups...
I know I can use the On Click option for the form on the Left... and set code or a macro to the load the data on the right. I tried everything and can't seem to get the data to load on the right when a record is clicked on the left...
I 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 have a form, that when I create a new record it puts a a =Now() time stamp in the Date Field, but I would like for that time to be updated if anything on the record is changed, later on. How do I update that time?

I have created a small form that hold a cube of 9 boxes on it. The idea is that it will act as a small icon that indicates the system is loading. (Purely cosmetic)
I have triggered the boxes to change colour on a loop when the form loads but the problem is that the loop function is being carried out before the form actually loads. How do I get the form to display first and then carry out the loops to change the colour of the shapes?
Thanks all...
How do you open an invisible form when the database opens. In the database's startup options I have the database open a form, however, for some reason I can't set it to an invisible state.
My users run macros in their programs (not forms) the sole purpose of the form is to track which users are logged in the database or not. Therefore, when the form opens/closes, a user-table updated.
I don't want the users to be able to see this form, but I have no way to keep it hidden. More importantly because no other forms are being used or opened on load... I can't open the form hidden. Does anyone know anyway around this?
Could someone tell me what Event I need to put this code in to calculate my fields when the form first opens?
I have this code on both the After Update and On Change events which is working fine, but, when I first open the form, those calculated fields are blank and I have to perform a change or update before the calculations will appear each time.
If Not IsNull(Me.fcstloc) Then
Me.prodvolume = DSum("[volume]", "qryMonthlyEngineVolumes", "[product] = '" & Forms!Projects!product & "'" & " And [MonthID] Between " & Forms!Projects.MonthID.Column(0) & " And 12")
ElseIf Not IsNull(Me.prodvolume) Then
Me.prodvolume = DLookup("[2004volume]", "tblProjectDetails", "[projectid] = " & Forms!Projects!projectid & "")
End If
Thanks!

How can I Load a Form into Memory without showing it?
I have a DB with some Forms. None of them are open. I want to check some properties of each form without actually opening them. How can I do this. Probably by loading it.
Can anybody tell me how to use the LOAD command to load the Form?:o
