Zoom Box Font - Change Permanently

[Guest]

The font for the zoom box ([Shift]+[F2]) can be changed (Access 2000 and up)
but only remains that way for the current Access session. It reverts to the
default "Tahoma Regular 8pt" each time Access is started.

Is there a way to re-configure Access so that the default changes? I don't
want to change the font each time I start Access.

I'm with you, it is a pain in the rear, but unfortunately it's a
feature that is not available. Sorry.

Tks for the note, Fred, somehow I was hoping that there might be a registry
key somewhere.

The ZoomBox is just a normal Access Form. This form and the associated
code is stored in the Access Utility.MDA.

You can call the ZoomBox function yourself, either filling in the
optional function parameters for font size etc. or presetting the
exposed font props from the utils class prior to calling the ZoomBox
function. A serach on GoogleGroups should yield some sample code.

Hi Stephen,
You're the man. You provided the push into the right direction. The rest
will be investigation and making it work.
Tks.
