Popup Form disappears on multi monitor

[mdnuts]

I've searched around and tried various fixes such as setting auto resize and auto center to No without any change.

For example if I open up the Access database on my left monitor, then move it to my right - whenever I switch from design to form mode the form disappears. Moving Access back over to the left monitor will not show the form. Minimizing all windows except Access won't show it either. If I switch to layout view, then form view it will show on the monitor I have Access up on - but if I go back to Design and then form it will disappear again.

If I move Access to the left monitor (in this example). open the form in design and then form view it pops up visible. Seems clear that it ties the opening position of the popup to the monitor Access was opened on.

Anyone else run into this and found a work-around?

well I'll be damned. I should have thought it was Windows related.

Thanks!

found my answer:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

With Me
.Move 0, 0
.Width = 6.5 * 1440 '6.5 inches wide for the window
.InsideHeight = 2.125 * 1440 '2.125 inches high for the window working area
.InsideWidth = 6.25 * 1440 '6.25 inches wide for the window working area
End with

end sub

and autocenter = true
