Fully open a form

[Guest]

How do you make sure a form is fully displayed (no scroll bars, not maximized)?

I have several forms (unbound) which are used to display sorting options for
reports. Upon a button click, the form then opens the report with the
requested sort.

The forms are small enough to fit on any screen. They open fine on my
system, but when I open the form from a computer using the Access runtime, a
portion of the form is open and the user must drag the border wider to see
the entire form. When the form is closed and reopened, the user must drag the
border again. The forms are usually opened from the switchboard "Open Form in
Edit Mode".

From the runtime, there is no "file>save" option to save the form once the
size has changed. I'd prefer to do it programmatically anyway (or in the form
properties).

thanks,
James

Hi -

Have you set the auto resize property of the forms to "Yes" ?

John,
they were set to No. I'll make the change and try again.

John,
I just got through testing on the runtime with the "auto resize" set to
"yes" and it did not make a difference.
Here is a link to what the form looks like.

You can see how the circled form cuts off some of the controls. I could
maximize, but would rather not as the form is not that large. It could have
to do with differences in resolution, but I would think there is some
property or programmatic ability to make the form show completely.

Remember that this is on the Access runtime, so the user can't change the
size of the form and save it.

Any other ideas?

thanks,
James
