DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

[raghuprabhu]

Hi All,

I am still using Access 2003. Some of the users of the database I creat are quite old. Have difficulty reading small fonts.

I use "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox" on double click events of text and memo fields for a zoom box to pop up.

My question is how I make the fonts bigger and bolder automatically instead of the standard size 8. The users have to click on the Fonts button and change to their requirements and they are annoyed!

Thanks in advance

Where do you want the font to be bigger? On a form, table etc..

how can they change font sizes? they shouldn't be able to do that, surely? they shouldn't be entering design mode for forms.

if they can't see things they probably ought to change the screen resolution to 800x600 perhaps.

depending how you designed your app, however, they might then find they need to start using scroll bars to see the whole form.


alternatively, redesign the app with bigger fonts.
