Zoom not working in Access 2007 Runtime

[Syvers]

Hi

The users of my application who only have the access 2007 runtime are not
able to use the Shift F2 shortcut to open up the zoombox. Does anybody know
if this is an Access Runtime problem or something missing in my users
registry perhaps.

To over come the problem I have created a new form and if the user presses
Shift F3 the code passes in the original text box by reference. If the user
changes it then those changes are then updated by way of reference to the
original text box.

The problem with this is I want everyone to use Shift F2 to get to my text
box not just the runtime users as this looks confusing. Can I change the
default behaviour of Shift F2 so it runs my code and does not open the zoom
(or do nothing in the case of the runtime)?

Thanks
Paul

Hi,

I don't if it will be read but..

According to microsoft :
Unfortunately, the zoom box functionality is contained in one of the wizard files (utility.accda). Wizard files are not redistributable and are only meant to be used with full versions of Access.

I managed to make the zoom box work on an access 2007 runtime.

Computer "A" is office full 2007 and computer "B" is only on access runtime 2007.

- Copy ACCWIZ folder (located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\office12 folder )from A to B
- Copy ACCWIZ.DLL (Office12 folder) from A to B
- Register the dll :
* start menu in run or search, type cmd then press enter
* c:
* cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\office12"
* regsrv32 ACCWIZ.DLL
- in registry editor :
The following keys are located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components
* on computer B delete the the key which contains the string with the value "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\ACCWIZ\\UTILITY.ACCDA" .
* on computer A : export the keys containing the following values : ACWZUSR12.ACCDU, ACWZTOOL.ACCDE
* on computer B : import theses 3 keys.

Launch access zoom box working !

U mad Microsoft?
