form size

[Guest]

Access2003 Have put into a form's OnLoad event:

DoCmd.MoveSize 4440, 5440, 3440, 3440

wanting it to open to about 3x4 inch size, located toward the right lower of
screen....yet it continues to open full size on top of the current screen.
(I believe that there is 1440 per inch so that 4440 would be ~3 inch...)

this form is triggered to open via a macro; macro starts from a button on
the main form and includes some queries to run before form opens...

form opens fine with the correct data....just way too big...can't seem to
rein it in...

Is your main form maximized? In Access when one object is maximized all
objects are maximized. The exception is popup and dialog forms.

before.... can one simply downsize a single form?.....

Nope. Maximize one and you maximize all, again except for forms where the
popup property is set to true or that are opened with the acDialog option.
