Form size problem : part 2

[Maileen]

Hi,

So, i will try to write more clearly what my problem is.
Basically, when you design a Form under Access 2000, you allocate it
some size. Even if your form size is smaller than windows size, Access
display some lift on left and bottom. This is something that i dislike

After, when you run it, it's like MS Access, kept in memory the size of
you window with size of lifts...and display it....but without lift.

What i want, it's just that MS Access display my form as it's design and
not something like that :

in designing time :
form width : 500 px (my designing windows width is for example 700 px)
form height : 200 px (my designing windows height is for example 300 px)

lift size = 20 px

in running time :
form width = designing time form width + lift size
for height = desinging time form height + lift size



Is it clear now ?

thanks for any help.

Just a little more precision...in fact, it's like Access is taking the
size of Detail bar and add it to my form

I'm not sure what you mean by "lift", but are you aware that you can set
the form's AutoResize property (on the Format tab of the form's property
sheet in design view) to Yes, causing the form always to be displayed at
the designed dimensions if it's in single-form view? In continuous
forms view, Autoresize will always adjust the saved size so that
complete records are displayed.

It didn't help? What did you do, and wht did you get? Maybe I'm not
understanding the problem correctly.

If I understand you correctly you are wanting to turn off the scroll bars
and then have the form open in a slightly smaller size at run time. Smaller
because the scrollbars are now hidden.

1. Open the form in design view, Change the "Scrollbar" options in the
"Format" tab of "Properties." If you want to hide both scrollbars change
the selection to Neither.

2. Also change the "Auto Resize" option to yes.

3. Close the form and save. (Merely opening in form view from design view
will not work.

4. Open the form in form view.

If that didn't help, well, you just wasted 5 minutes. Sorry about that!
