One thing that has bothered me forever about Access is that it seems
like I'm constantly resizing the Database Object Explorer window.

It either opens in 2" by 2" mode or exceeds the size of the screen.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for it and for all intents
and purposes, there doesn't seem to be any way to force its hand.

Last week there was a post about the DB Window being "lost" when it
had really zipped out to the right about a hundred yards. Someone
suggested using the Cascade Windows command to bring it back. That
was a _great_ suggestion ... one I won't quickly forget.

Today, I extended that reasoning to use the Tile Vertically menu
option to put that darn uncontrollable window in its place. Wish I'd
have thought of that years ago.
 
Danny's post prompts a question I have: there doesn't seem to be a
rhyme or reason to the size and placement of the database window when
first opening a database.

Is there a way to specify in the database the size and placement of the
database window, and perhaps to which Objects menu (Tables, Queries,
Forms, etc.) it will open?
 
with a macro


1 - maximize db window
Runcommand AppMaximize

2 - change to the queries tab; etc
SelectObject "tableName", True (in database window is the arg.-- if you
choose a query; it will go to the queries tab; etc)
