Access 2002 report positions

[Rob Gray]

Hi,

I am trying to open an access report for previewing, in the same place
and size and zoom each time. How do you set the opening (for preview)
position of the report, to a set location. It's been a while since
I've used access and I think that if I resized or otherwise changed
the report in design view then saved it, that would the new position.
This doesn't seem to work in Access 2002.

Ultimately I would like to maximise the report while it is open, but
when the report closes all other screens are not still maximised.

Any assistacne is appreciated,

Rob

Yes, that is the way Maximize works in Access. However, you can use Restore
in the Close event of the Report (but 'ware if the user had already
Maximized -- you'll restore when the user didn't want it) to go back to
unmaximized, but not minimized state.

In fact, the "Windows Way" is to allow the user to control his/her own
desktop. I've rejected use of some potentially useful applications because
they irritated me by trying to enforce how I used my own desktop. You
_might_ have some users who take the same view, so I'd use care in this kind
of activity.

Thanks for the reply.

This change was a user request...
Do you know how to tell access where to place the report, without
maximising? I will implement the method you've given but am curious as to
if there is another way.

If you stop by our web site and look in the free files area under the
heading "Other Reports" there a sample there that demonstrates how to
position a report on the screen
