Smart Auto Fullscreen Form

[christakis]

Hi guys,

I asked this question ages ago in a different thread but didn't get an answer. I am wondering if this is imposible or simply too difficult for people to bother and explain.

When I open a form it is in window mode and exactly as I want it to be. How can I make it to auto-resize, when I press the maximise button? I want all fields in the red box to stay put and the rest (tab and subform) to auto-resize. Please see attached images for more info.

Cheers,
Christakis

Yes. So it can't be done with access only?

I've never tried. I typically build things with fixed sized forms, so I've never needed it.

It is not a simple matter of coding. There is a lot of coding involved and the time involved to recreate that coding would probably take more and cost more than if you purchased the add-in (which is why most of us don't do this sort of thing).
