Form Size

[softpro]

I want to display my form to the full windows, I want to avoid horizonal & vertical scroll bars if possible.

So Whats is the normal form size to use?
Is it Width = 6.5 " Heigt = 4.5 " ???


I want to fix this size standards on all the forms from the beginning to avoid scroll bars (as the users dont prefer it).

Thanks in advance !

add the following to the "On Open" event of the form:

docmd.maximize


You can edit the properties of the form and set "Scrollbars" to "Neither"

Thanks Brad !

I am using docmd.maximize in the form open.

Basically my form is little over the normal size and the user does not prefer scroll bar.

I want to fix the form size (width and height) for the normal screen resolution.

So then I can avoid the overlapping, chop off etc.

Thanks

Softpro,

It sounds like you need a form resizer. That way no matter what resolution you developed the form in with the docmd.maximize it will always fill the screen without scroll bars. Check out www.developershandbook.com under downloads for the form scaler/resizer tool. I have used it extensively and it works great and is very simple to integrate. You do have to set a reference but I have had no problems with db distribution of an intranet.
