Form is appearing off the screen- how do I get it to come back?

[Lanceu]

I edited a Access form on a dual monitor machine, and now people with
smaller monitors can't see it- where is the property to determine
where it appears?

You have a few options.

1. Have the users go up to Window, Cascade. That should put everything on
the screen.

2. Open the form in design mode. Move it where it belongs on the screens
then hit the save button.

3. Use the MoveSize command during the On Open event of the form to place it
exactly where you want. I put the following function in a module and just
call on fMoveSize in the On Open events for many forms and reports.

Public Function fMoveSize()
DoCmd.MoveSize 1, 1, 14500, 9000
End Function

Bonus tip: Either develop on a computer/monitor system like the users have
OR at least test on one before releasing it. If you develop on a super-duper
new computer with a video card that can run any game and the users are on a
three year-old Celeron machine with integrated graphics and only 512mb
memory, the graphics interface and performance of your database could be a
problem.
