Resize button on menubar

[Guest]

I created a form with a menubar. One of the item on the bar is to close the
form. That works just fine.

I set the border style to dialog, the max/min buttons to none, no control
box, no close button. However, when the form comes up, on the menubar I get
the double overlaid boxes for resizing the form all the ay over on the right.
How do I get rid of this?

Thanks,

Hopefully you might be able to help me

I am trying to create a menu bar for a form. i have created the menu bar in
View!Toolbars etc. i then go to properties of form and enter the name of
the menu bar.

When i open the form - nothing ! Is there something I am missing to display
the menu bar on the form?

Thanks

Verify that the bar is a menubar, not a tool bar. Do this in the form
properties and where you created the menubar.

yes have created and checked that it is Menubar.
Open the form is design view, opened Properties, went to Other, and Menu
Bar, entered name of menu bar - Alex -

Save forms, close it and open up in view mode and nothing, just the form !

really weird.

i cant get either the menu bar, toolbar or pop up to work, so I am wondering
if I have a setting wrong or am definately missing a step. I assume that
the menubar should appear in the usual place just below the form name. I
can get it to appear in the main Access workspace window without any
problems, but not on my form

I think that is where it is supposed to appear. I have never seen it appear

Ah, the penny drops - I assumed that you could add it to a form -

Thanks for your help

AFAIK, that only happens when you open the form into a
maximized UI. Normally(?), a form with no Min/Max buttons
will not be maximized when another form is maximized, (or if
it is, you can't see it behind the other form and the UI is
restored when you switch back).

I guess there are some logic issues that Access is trying to
deal with when you open your form that can't be maximized
and the UI is already maximized, so Access puts the restore
button on the menu bar.

I don't know all the ins and outs of these logical
conflicts, but I doubt that you can get rid of it unless you
refrain from maximizing the other displayed items. (Did you
try opening the form using acDialog???)

BTW, nice answer to the person that tried to hijack your
thread ;-)

I tried acDialog, but that just maximized the form to the screen size. I
want to maximize the form to the Access window.

When I open the form, the Form_Load routine has one line of code

DoCmd.Maximize

I can't seem to isolate the click on the unwanted resize double box to just
maximize the form again.

Any other sugestions?

Thanks

Sheldon,

The problem is that a maximized form will always show the Restore button.

However, to have the best of both worlds with a *maximized* form and no
restore button is to use the code found here:

I use it all the time and it works great.
