MoveSize doesn't work?

[Slez via AccessMonster.com]

I have a macro with 2 steps: OpenForm & MoveSize

The properties in OpenForm are:
View = Form
Window Mode = Dialog

When the macro runs, the form opens up in the upper left corner of the screen
no matter what dimensions I enter into the MoveSize property.

I have numerous other forms and I have never had this happen. Is there a
property in the form that may override the macro?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Slez,

A am not sure, just some ideas to check out...

Depending on your version of Access, the form has a Moveable property,
so make sure this is set to Yes.

Do you see the same problem if you open the form with Window Mode = Normal?

Thanks for the response!
Moveable property is set to yes.
When window mode is Normal, it opens maximized.
Strange issue...if you think of anything else that might cause this, I'll
appreciate the suggestion!

Are you actually calling your macro in the forms Open Event? Just a thought.
One other thing, try to steer clear of macros. You can use VBA instead.

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.MoveSize 123, 5, 11750, 4700
End Sub

Of course I wasn't calling it out in the Open event! That fixed it!
Sometimes I wonder about myself! Thanks!

In your example of VBA, what do your dimensions represent? In the macro
sizes read: 2", 2", 4.5", and so on.

When you're using the MoveSize method (as opposed to the MoveSize action),
all arguments are expressed in twips. There are 1440 twips to the inch, or
567 twips to the centimeter.

If you're currently thinking in inches, just multiple the inch value by
1440.
