mail this guy:
rdhicks@mindspring.com
he gave me the solution to the exact same problem yesterday, I just dont have a saved copy to send.

Check your email, I had to change a couple of lines of code to do the 1024x768 thing.

Good Luck

Fdarouian@yahoo.com

thanks

Could someone e-mail me this code too.

kstroupe@phsystems.com

Thx

 

[KDg]

could you just post it instead!!!
thanks Mr Hicks, I've done some code to do this myself but am less than convinced that it's the best way and could *definitely* use a better version

many thanks RDH

I don't think that just posting the code will tell the whole story. Certain events have to run on open, and certain events have to run on close, and also it involves a hidden form that retains the opening resolution so the it can be set back to the original resolution upon exiting the program.

I am going to place the database and a text file, with instructions on a FTP site so anyone who wants it can download it. As soon as it's posted I'll let everyone know where it is.

Hi.

Could I please have a copy of the code too?

Also I would like to know how to "center" a "dialog form" so that it does not appear in the corner.

Thanks

Hi,

To resize forms is not real simple. Here is a site with the code for Access 97. It works with a few small changes with 2000. The persons that wrote the code have a 2000 version available on a disk in their Access 2000 book. Good Luck, and it does work.

Has anyone had any luck doing this. I am trying to find some code, but have had no luck yet.

You can use a third-party form rescaling module or add-in to do this for you, or write the code yourself (because of the complexity, this is not recommended).

A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm

There's a great article about form scaling in this month's SmartAccess newsletter. Check it out here; http://www.smartaccessnewsletter.com

Also, more info is linked here: http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0002.htm

Hope this helps,
