Open Report generates a tiny window?

[Avoraightu]

Recently my reports have started opening as very small windows.
I haven't been able to determine why.

The VBA code:

DoCmd.OpenReport "rptPrintFATDataS8500", acViewPreview, , "[SystemNumber] Like '" & strSystem & "'"

I tried adding ",acWindowNormal" to the end but it does not seem to make a difference

Other users are experiencing the same thing, has anybody else experienced this?

I think it opens to the size it was last closed, but you can add this after the OpenReport line:

DoCmd.Maximize

It doesn't seem to matter what size they are when they are closed, they still open tiny.
It also seems to only affect reports opened via command button, if you double click the report directly it opens normally.

This just started doing this recently could it be related to any Office 365 updates?

I'm not sure, my production development is done in an earlier version. Also I think I always have that maximize code anyway.

The only issue that I have with "Maximize" is that it opens the window to the size of my screen, not the size of the report. Is there a simple way to get the window to match the page size?

Try this

Private Sub Report_Open()
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdFitToWindow
End Sub

Or you can use something like this

   DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom100

There are many other possibilities to choose from

Thanks Colin, I realized later that it was probably because I was messing with the size of the main window. Some users were experiencing reports opening minimized to the task bar.

What I ended up doing was changing the Report settings to: Auto Resize No

It works but you have to change every report in your application

I think we can consider this issue solved, I will experiment with your suggestions on future reports.

Thank You for the support
