Size Of Forms

Mar 23, 2006

I have a button on Form1 that when clicked opens Form2. I want Form2 to be a certain size everytime it opens. I can't seem to get this to happen, it always resizes depending on Form1 being maximised or not.

Large Field Size = Larger Overall Database Size?

Aug 29, 2005

Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?

Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.

Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.


Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

Forms :: Text Size In Forms / Datasheets

Aug 16, 2014

I need to make the text size smaller to fit everything on the screen (users use 17" monitors..). I have gone into each form and subform and changed the text size for each text box to 9, but when I view them in form view the size has not changed ?

Also .. is there any way to make the autocentre option actually work as it's name suggests !! ? it does in most cases centre horizontally, but never vertically, quite often putting the top of the pop up form over the ribbon bar.

I would actually like to be able to totally remove the ribbon bar so that only the database forms are the only thing the user sees.

I vaguely remember being able to do this in Access 97 (Which was the last version I used - a long time ago !) but this seems to be more difficult in 2010 version.

Keeping Forms The Same Size

Apr 20, 2006

When I open a Form, it appears in the proper size. Then, I go and open a Report, which is a DoCmd.Maximum on open. This works well. The report is enlarged. Now, when I go to open a form, the size of the form is max.
I tried Borderline dialog, fit window, DoCmd.MoveSize, and a couple of other things, but I cannot get those forms to keep their original size-they blow up!
How can this be accomplished?

Display Size Of Forms With Different Monitors

Jan 2, 2007

I just change from a 1024x768 monitor to a 1600x1200. Now my database is squished due to the smaller pixel size and it is uncomfortably small. How can I adjust the DB to "fit" the new display, or any other monitor resolution setting.

Forms :: Controlling Form Size?

Feb 2, 2015

I have one form "Products" that I have a button on which opens up another form. The second form lists a different number of lines depending on how many items are in a group.

The problem I am having is that I can not make the second form shrink or grow depending on how many line items I have in each group. Currently, I have to make the form as large as the most possible lines I could have (which is 19) but sometimes I might only have 5 lines in a form.

Forms :: Action Buttons Increase In Size 50% To Right And Down

Jul 7, 2013

It has been a month and I'm still 'stuck' on my Microsoft Access lessons due to a peculiar error. I have a video of the error, but it won't let me post a link until I have 10 posts. When I create an action button and then scroll at all, the button jumps in size 50% to the right and down, but this extra space can't be edited. Clicking on the 'extra space' is like clicking the background.

I have tried

1. Reinstalling Office 365
2. Reinstalling my graphics card drivers (Using a GTX 560ti SLIx2)
3. Manually entering the size for the buttons in the button properties (still increases in size)

I have a project where the schedule calls for a web-enabled database for 100+ users to merge five separate systems into one. If I can't get past this problem, I can't continue my lessons.

Forms :: Set The Size And Print Current Record With Subforms

May 30, 2014

I have a form that has 2 subforms. When I try to print the current file there are a few problems,

1) When you use the print option in File menu, and select "Selected Records" , it will always print the second record, no the one selected.

2) No matter how often I change the printer properties , it will not keep the paper size I request.

Is there a script I could use to set the size and print the current record ?

Forms :: Design View - Reducing Form Size?

Sep 24, 2014

When I create a form in design view and then open it, the form fills the whole area. The Fit To Screen property is set to No, and Auto Resize makes no difference no matter what it is set at.

How can I reduce the form size (so it looks like an Excel form)?

Forms :: Field Level Size Appears To Change

Aug 12, 2015

I have a form that contains a blank text box for each field in a record. Until very recently it functioned correctly for years. Lately data enterers tried to fill a ten character field with five characters (ANNNN format, example X9999). Some records require an entry in this text box, some do not, so their field is left blank. Lately when a new entry is tried in this field, only the first three characters are accepted, blocking character four through ten from being entered. It acts as if the text length for this text box has been changed to three characters, but it is still the correct length in the Properties box.

The system keeps track of clients who have attended a nutrition education class and the form involved is the location the class was taught.

Forms :: Datasheet White Space - Records Not Showing In Size Allowed

Dec 11, 2014

I have a datasheet on a form that is unable to show all records in the size allowed. Consequently it has a vertical scroll bar. However, the scroll bar allows scrolling to the bottom whereby there is white space almost the same size as the data records. The horizontal scroll bar does much the same.

Is it possible to just show the records and only the width of the data in them.? No extra records exist in the table to cause this.

I'm still in design phase but I'm going to have more than 30 tables. I know I'm going to have a pretty good number of forms, queries and reports. Should I start preparing for the worst in case this db gets too big? What kind of techiques can I use to make sure that it still runs quickly enough?

Thanks

Size Matters!

Jun 14, 2005

In the time-honoured fashion of reducing the size of the front end of a db I imported everything into a new db. The size reduced from 32mb to 17mb. Success.

When I change anything, no matter how small, in the new db, it immediately increases in size back to 32mb. I always compact on exit.

This is annoying, rather than a major problem.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a “feature” of Access?

DB Ballooning In Size!

Apr 4, 2007

Hey guys,

I'm not sure what happened, but my database size has gone from about 60MB to 290MB. I have added about 10 new records and had an AuditTrail function keeping track of history. I had problems with too many entries in this field, so I deleted the field and started fresh. I have also tried to compact and repair the database. Can anyone give me some light on this situation?
