Rick,

You seem to have some really great answers. I was unable to get any answers
to a previous post to the following question:

How can I set Access 2002 to always open reports in a particular zoom
percentage by default, such as 150%, without having to write VBA code or
constantly go to the Zoom menu to make it 150%?

The answers I got involved using VBA code, even though one of my criteria
for a good answer was to not use it.

The reason I want to avoid code is because I want to be able to open up any
Access database, build or view existing reports, and always see my report
previews at 150% unless overridden by someone elses VBA code. It seems to
me this is a simple thing for Bill Gates and Company to accomplish, as well
as a pretty obvious desired functionality in any Office product, but then
again I can be pretty dense myself.

Thanks for any help.

Can't be done without code AFAIK. Might be able to use a macro, but I never use them
so I can't say for sure. What you're describing would be an additional setting in
the options menu and having Microsoft add that ability in a future version of the
product is the only way I can see it happening.
