Hi 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?

Hi,
I currently have a table of contacts. For the most part, each record has a 'company name' field, an 'address' field, etc. Unfortunately, because I imported this data from a text file (I ran a VBA code which extracted each record from the text file and put them into the table) and because not all the contacts have the same number of fields, the fields don't all line up.
How can I traverse through the entire table and shift the cells so that everything lines up properly (i.e. - all the addresses are under one column and all the fax numbers are under another)? If I have to write some sort of procedure to do this, what approach should I take?
Thanks!
I was wondering if it was at all possible to duplicate a column, but shift it up by one record. So for instance I have a table that looks like:
Date-------------Duration
1/12/2013------0
2/12/2013------20
3/12/2013------15
4/12/2013------10
But I would Like it to read
Date-------------Duration---Shifted Duration
1/12/2013------0------------20
2/12/2013------20----------15
3/12/2013------15----------10
4/12/2013------10----------0
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'm creating a database using existing data from an excel file full of contact details. What I need to add is a queue type system where each contact in the database has a "Place in Queue" number which is unique obviously.
Lets say Alan is number 1, Bob is 2 and Chris is 3. They have these corresponding numbers in the queue field for their entries.
Now what I need to have, through use of a form, is a way of changing Chris from number 3 in the queue to number 1 and thus have Alan automatically shift down to number 2 and Bob to 3.
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 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a macro which runs from a form. The macro just opens up a subform. The problem is that the subform gets opened up in a new window. I have changed the property to modal, but this then still opens up the subform in a dialogue box.
Basically I want to be able to view both the form (top half of the screen) and the subform (bottom half of the screen) on the same screen.
Thanks,
Evan

hi guys,
would someone please tell me if it is possible to locate the form in a specific location on screen, e.g. starting from top left corner or basically have the form open in centre of screen?!
I have created my database in Access and now trying to make the forms appear on screen as neet as possible. I have a main form which is on screen all the time and it should cover the whole screen. I have set the size of the form but everytime i open it it doesnt cover the screen as it does not start from the top left corner!
i also have a few pop up forms which i want them to appear in the middle of screen. how can i do this?!!!
i would appreciate any help or suggestions on alternative soloutions!
Thanks
Apologies if I am covering old ground here but unfortunately I cannot find a suitable solution after searching the forum.
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.
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 have a form of data base which is being shared by 3-4 persons. The problem being observed is, in Laptop it shows the complete form on screen but in PC of 14" monitor, we have to adjust the seek bar to view the form up/down.

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?
