form size and position

[Leong]

Hi

I am not the most efficient user in Access so please bear with me on a simple question.

On Access 2000 I would like to all my forms to be the same size and in the same position on the screen. So when one closes the other opens in the exact same place.

I don’t like using the measurements on the side as I cant seem to get the measurements with all forms correct. Is there some sort of properties box I can set height, length and position to?

I found the the properites box on the recordselectors.

I can edit the width and set the auto centre to yes but i still cant do the length, any help?

The height is unique to each section of the form, so the height property for each section is in that section's properties. If you aren't using page header/footer or form header/footer, then the only section you have is called Detail. Click on the detail bar (across the top of the form in design view) and look at the properties. Height is sitting in there.

thats brilliant I found that easy. thanks

However althought I have both forms the same size

main menu = height:11cm width:23cm (no header or footer)

user form = heigh: 11cm width: 23cm (header:0 footer:0)

it still does not go the same size. please see attachment.
