I must be missing something simple here.
The opening switchboard of my db is set to popup but on opening the db it is showing full screen. On reopening once closed it pops up. How can I make it popup to start with?
Settings are:
Default View - Single Form
Auto Centre - Yes
Auto Resize - No
Border Style - Dialog
I just imported all of my objects (tables, forms, etc.) into a brand new database file and all of my forms are now full screen instead of the size I set them to in design. What caused this? I can't get them back to their normal size.
I am using Access 2007 but imported files into 2003 .mdb file.
Form View
Design View
How it should look?
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.
I had the Main Menu open when clicked on access file. I put a autoexc.bat file somewhere. Where? Also how do I get a form to open in full screen again?

Basically my switchboard on Open includes DoCmd.Maximize so that the switchboard does indeed open on full screen. However, say I then leave my database open and work on a different application on my PC then when I click on my database on the taskbar then the form is not longer full screen.
So what I am basically asking is, is there a way of 'locking' it to appear full screen even if I flick between applications on my PC?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul.
See my 2 attachments. I put the Pop-Up property on the form. that worked but still not what I want.
On the HATT attachment do you see how it opens in the middle of the screen? And the other opens at the top right, (and has that tab at the top right that says frmMain)?
how do i made the airwatch open in the middle? like the other screenshot?
Hi,
I searched in this form and on the internet on how to display a form in Full screen; however, I could not find an answer that worked.
Does anyone knows how to display forms full screen please?
Thank you,

How do I achieve a full screen switchboard display so that the only way to access the (table, query, form...) is by holding the shift button while clicking on the file icon. Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHey.
My database would like, to make itself feel complete, a rele snazzy opening form.
I have flash 8 and I've created a 1024x768 movie with some simple animation on it.
I've managed to add the movie to the database as a ActiveX flash object and the animations play.
The problem is making the object larger! It's staying very small no matter how I change the properties of the control.
Any help would be much appreciated. For the sake of my databases mental health... of course. :cool:
To attach the movie I did so:

Hello,
I am trying to run a macro on doubleclick in a subform (dataview) that will open the same record in a popup form (tabular).
I've enter in the macro Where Condition the following statement to only show the record I doubleclicked on in the popup. The only problem is it's asking me for a parameter value for the LogID. Its apparently not picking up the LogID I doubleclicked on. Is there any way I can fine-tune this WHere statement so that it knows the record LogID I clicked on. (The pop up form should show only the same record).
[LogID]=[Forms]![CommunicationLog Subform]![LogID]
How I configure my Form Window to pop up as soon as I open my Access Database?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a place I can insert a snippet of code to have all the forms come up full screen. Some users think it is annoying that they dont always come up maximized. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
View 12 Replies View RelatedHi,
When the user click the button, then it will give out a popup form to the screen, but I want to make the popup form's height as same as the screen/window/monitor's height, because the popup form's height is larger than the screen's height, and every user's monitor's height is different. So, I have to make it flexiable change of the height of the popup form.
How can I check the screen/window height by VBA function?
In Excel, it has Application.Height to check. In MS Access Form, I cannot find one for doing that.
Please let me know if you have one.
Thanks.
Hi there,
Is there a way to hide the application title bar (including the min, max and close buttons) as well as the windows taskbar when Access is running? I have seen this done before where the form fills the entire screen - ie no controls or frames are visible.
Does anyone have any suggestions????
Thanks,
Glenn
Im trying to open my database switchboard without having the whole Access program open. Is there a way to have only the database open without the whole program?
Thanks
i have a button opening forms however when they open they appear in window mode and not full screen. is there an option or a line of code of code i am over looking to make it open in full screen mode?
ps. i am using access 2010
Im not sure if this is the right place to put this but I was wondering if you could help me:
Say I have database with forms that display records or people ie name, address, postcode, etc. What I want to do is display a list of Names then from that list I can double, single click and open the record details.
Id call my self and amatuer at access and am probably guessing this is done via vscript or something else, but any help will do.
Thanks

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
How to set all controls in the form I would like to get complete information about all property options.

lblTxtSt = txtState

I apologize if this has probably been asked countless times; however, in my search of this forum I could not find something that seemed to work for something so simple.
**************************************************
Scenerio:
I have 2 forms. The first form is my main form and the second form is my "popup" form. Both of these forms access the same table. In my main form I have it so people can not enter in a ID so it reduces accidental data entry. Therefore, I created a "popup" box that allows ID entry.
Everything works great except when I close out of the popup form, the newly entered data is not available unless I close the main form and reopen.
Million Dollar Question:
How do I refresh or requery (dunno the correct term usage here) the main form to reflect the addition I made in my popup form. I would like the refresh event to happen when I click the close button on my popup form.
**************************************************
Again, I know this is probably simple, but I cannot find it anywhere or most likely I am blind :cool:
Thank You
I tried all sorts of permutations of the requery command but apparently I'm too dense to figure it out.
Form 1
subform 1 > button to open pop up form
subform 2
subform 3
I'm trying to requery a combo box (inside of subform 1) based on a table that is updated from the pop up form.
On pop up form close, what's the correct syntax for re-querying subform 1?
I'm working on an invoice system for a company and they reqiure notification when an account is called up on a form that has an outstanding invoice.
So I created a query that locates all unpaid invoices, I made a form using that query, and I want to use it as a subform on my main invoice page.
But I'd like this subform to only popup when the criteria is met, that is the name on the subform matches the name on the current invoice called up.
Right now the subform is blank when the criteria is not met, and fields are filled out when they are...but I'd rather a nice big popup that can really get their attention...any idea if this is possible on Access 2000?
Thanks!
I have made a message service in access db using a pop up on timer even.
It works fine but sometimes it does not load. My db is split db and so what ever I am doing, doing on my machines only. So is there any way to check if a form is loaded and if its loaded then do requery.
