Form view size on screen

R

Rob E.

I have constructed a form that is under seven inches tall per the design
grid. However when I open it, it requires a scroll bar and appears much
larger. The 'zoom' controls remain grayed out even after I placed them in
the toolbar. Essentially, the problem could be saved if I could set the view
to 75% like in Word or Excel. It would also be solved if I could adjust the
scale of an open form so that it is closer in size to the design size,
wysiwyg.

This form is designed for the ability to view all the fields on a single
screen, with a read-only and an entry version planned. I'd be grateful for
any suggestions.

Take a look at MoveSize in the help menu. Place the code in the On Open
event, or maybe On Current or Activate, depending on how you will be
navigating to the form. Try 500,500,8000,5000 for starters to get a sense of
the sizes involved. Calculations are possible, but trial and error works
well enough for occasional use.
