Form Fills entire screen

R

RMCompute

I am using Access 2007 in which I set up a form and when I click on it, it
fills the entire screen. When I import a form from another database into
this database, it also fills the entire screen. That same form in the other
database displayed on a small section of the screen. Is there a parameter in
the database which determines how the form is displayed, outside of the form
itself? Thanks in advance.

'set up a form and when I click on it, it fills the entire screen' -- How did
you set it up to do this?

Are all the computers set at the same screen resolution?

Maybe it is set to Maximize when it opens?
In your On Open code for the form, try adding this:
DoCmd.Restore

This restores the form to its design size, and also does the same to
everything else you open from then on unless there is code that says
otherwise. I usually like to Maximize reports when they open, then on close
I use DoCmd.Restore so the forms won't be maximized.

I had the same problem with my startup form always maximizing, even though I
saved it in it's native size. The problem was found in a macro that was
being fired on application startup. And, on another detail form, in the code
I found a DoCmd.Maximize command that was the culprit.
