Form position on screen (1 Viewer)

[Sess]

This works very well except for the Send button beside the Properties adjustment. Clicking this will return an error

Error 2467 (The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist.) in procedure fCurrentForm of VBA Document Form_DcbFormSizer_V3

I like the application it will make placing the screens easier for me - also I like the >> and << button to emulate a Maximize Minimize that is very cleaver.

Should work in 2003 now: (I Hope)
I cant seem to see any other offending events.....

Thanks for testing:

Again I cant duplicate the fault.....
Please tell me which line number?

Private Sub cmdS_PopUp_Click()
          'DoCmd.OpenForm
          Dim bolSet As Boolean
          Dim intBorderstyle As Integer
10        DoCmd.OpenForm fCurrentForm.Name, acDesign
20            bolSet = Me.cPopUp
30                fCurrentForm.PopUp = bolSet
40            bolSet = Me.cAutoCenter
50                fCurrentForm.AutoCenter = bolSet
60            bolSet = Me.cAutoResize
70                fCurrentForm.AutoResize = bolSet
      '        bolSet = Me.cFitToScreen
      '        ''    fCurrentForm.FitToScreen = bolSet
80            bolSet = Me.cModal
90                fCurrentForm.Modal = bolSet
100           intBorderstyle = Me.cmbBorderStyle
110               fCurrentForm.BorderStyle = intBorderstyle
120       DoCmd.OpenForm fCurrentForm.Name
130       Me.SetFocus
End Sub

The thought was initially to use it on 2007 only - thus the reason that i have items that are not in 2003... Now I can make a version that will detect both! Very cool - so thanks again!

Without stepping too far away from its intended purpose, can you think of anything else i should jot in?

Line 20
I tried to place a ' on line 20 so it would ignore the line but it returned the same error for line 30 so I did the same for line 30 and line 40 returned the same error...

Turn the form's Auto Center property off, or set it to no (whichever applies) and use the Move method on the Load event of the form.

Me.Move(left, top, width, height)

i tried to get the location from this vba.....Me.WindowTop, Me.WindowLeft, Me.WindowHeight, Me.WindowWidth...it gives ...1680 -4332 10140 22800....but when i use them in ...DoCmd.MoveSize -984, -4776, 11892, 22704...got an error msg that -ve values not allowed

That is a misuse of the MoveSize method. You don't move relative to where your form is located. You move relative to where your WINDOW is located.

DoCmd.MoveSize method (Access)

Office VBA reference topic

learn.microsoft.com

The first two arguments are absolute coordinates, not relative. You are attempting to put a portion of the form off-screen (or partially out of the window) when using negative numbers.

You must specify the left and top values for the form relative to the left and top corner of the window holding the form (the corner is 0,0). Find where you are in the window first, then add or subtract the distance you wanted to move, then make the .MoveSize call with the computed position relative to the WINDOW corner, not from the form's current corner.

If you want the window's corner itself to be moved, you have to start playing with API calls to determine window position and sizing via Windows calls, not Access properties. This linked thread discusses the API process.

Hi, Is it possible in Access 2002/VBA to determine the coordinates of where a form is positioned on a screen and the the forms size? I have an application that

Remember that a form lives in a WINDOW and the window lives on a SCREEN. Layers within layers.
