RE: [MS_AccessPros] Re: my popup sometime opens in that stupid black minimized rectangle

Terence

This is what I do to prevent a form from sizing itself weirdly:

1. I always design in maximized size. Access seems to know how to size a
form property when you do that.

2. If a form opens with the wrong size I go to (Acc2003) menu>window>size to
fit form;(Acc2010) Home>window>size to fit form. Ten save it.

To make things even easier, I develop with a macro named AutoKeys. There is an
old one in our files section. With it, all I do is press Ctrl+B. It does all the
work in one motion.

Well I just went through opening them all up, there are 12 I think, I re sized
them all, and save them properly. Close the DB, then went for coffee. I came
back and they all worked but one. So I re sized it. I will drink more coffee and
try again. I think the pattern has something to do with the US Congress raising
the debt ceiling.

:)

I just wished I had a bit more certainty and confidence that these windows will
act as I want them to. This application is being used for a Geriatric Physical
Therapy clicnic, and some of these forms will be used on Tablets. I prefer NOT
having DOCS throw the tablets at patients :)
