Close, Min, and Max Buttons

[ShannonMarie]

I have a form with properties set. The MinMax buttons and the Close button are left visible at this time. I have a Close command button on the form. The buttons in the top right corner are not showing. Does the command button have anything to do with this? There are over 25 fields on the form (pretty busy eh?), and I have not developed a form with this many before. I would like to know what is causing the removal of these buttons even though I have not set the properties to disable them. Any answers? Thank you sincerely.

a few questions:

Is your screen maximized at the time?

What version of windows and access are you running?

 

[ShannonMarie]

Yes the screen is maximized. All of the fields fit on the screen this way. I am running Windows XP and Access 2000.

Sounds like you have the forms Pop Up property set to YES and are maximizing the form with code in an event like OnOpen. That combination is causing the MinMaxClose buttons to not appear on your form. You will have to set the forms Pop Up property to NO if you want the MinMaxClose buttons to appear if you need the form maximized.

HTH

I am not sure if this is what is happening to you, but occasionally I lose all but my restore button, and am missing the minimize and close button. If I click the restore button they come back. I am maximizing OnOpen, but do not have the pop up property set to Yes.

I am using win98 and access 2000

Hope this helps

I checked it out

Thanks for the ideas. The pop up property is set to no. When the window is not maximized the buttons are missing, when the window is maximized the buttons are right under the access close, min. and restore buttons. I'm fighting with it some. I have tried resetting the properties back and forth but that has not changed anything? Not sure what else to do, but maybe persistance will pay off eh? Again thanks for the ideas? Any others would be great too.

PS I did not use the On Open to add an event to this form. Maybe I should build it through a Macro?

Can you post your form in this thread as an Access 97 db? Just remove anything (data, etc.) that you do not want us to see and compact it before you zip it up and I will take a look at it for you.

 

[ShannonMarie]

Here it is.

I zipped the folder with db1, which holds the Employees form. If you need more info I can send a copy of the table. I have Access 2000, however XP has a compatibilty mode that should work. I have never converted or manipulated Office versions. Hope it opens OK. Thanks for taking a look at it!

 

[ghudson]

The file you posted is in Access 2000. I only have Access 97 so I will not be able to assist unless you post a 97 version.

 

[ShannonMarie]

Thank you for your willingness to help. I will try to work with the compatibility modes this weekend. I am swamped with a programming contest and two design projects, so I will work with it within a couple of days. It might work. Maybe someone else that has Access 2000 will decide to take a look and give me an idea. If not, everything is working, so it is more of an irritation than an emergency. Thanks a bunch ghudson!

ShannonMarie ,

In Properties on the form set Control Box to Yes.

PS. In the attached is the answer to your other thread.

 

[ShannonMarie]

Thanks IMO

I am a little uncertain about the fact that the table that I want to pull them from has an ID num already set. I want to set new ones in the new table. Will there be any interference? Thanks so much for your help. I'm learning alot by doing, but sometimes it makes a body nervous to "delete" things.

No problem at all, just import the data you need and leave out the ID num from the Master table as it will not be needed if you create new ID's.
