MS Access Forum / Forms / March 2008Out of nowhere, my forms all open as Maximized
Good Day, This wasn't happening before. All my forms have the default veiw set to single form and the Min/Max Buttons are both Enabled. When I veiw the forms in the Design Veiw, they show in a small area of the window, but when I go into the Form View, it takes up the entire area and the Min/Max Buttons are not available. Thank you very much! -debi- Hi Debi, If you didn't mess with the controls, you might have "Maximize" some in your code. > Good Day, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you very much! -debi- I know I don't have anything set to Maximize. I just noticed that everything in ACCESS, queries, reports, etc., do not have Min/Max Buttons. What could I have changed?????? > Hi Debi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Thank you very much! -debi- What about your code? Go into your code source and click in the binoculars type in maximize and search entire project. If nothing comes up and your not sure what happened, I use the fail safe importing method. Create a blank database in access and import your current database and see if that helps. BE SURE TO MAKE A COPY FIRST. There may be another reason or solution but this usually works for me. It only takes about ten minutes and at least you have a 50/50 shot. > I know I don't have anything set to Maximize.

I believe it would have something to do within the database unless it is an Office setting in which I wouldn't have a clue. You created an new database and imported everything from your old one into it and it still does the same thing? Did you search your code throughout the database like I mentioned? If yes to both, I am at a lost because when it happens to me it's either Maximize in my code or I import and it corrects itself. What happens if you go on another computer to you get the expanded forms or the correct size forms? Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm sure someone on here knows what the problem is. Try opening the form in design view and click on the expansion window button to maximize it. Does the form itself go all the way to the border of the window? If so, move it over and make it smaller because the form will open to the size of the form in design view. Also, when the form is open, you may be able to click on the Window Menu and click Size to Form (if it's there. If the form is fully opened it probably won't show). If none of the works I am fresh out of ideas. Sorry Debi. > You know what, I used a different computer yesterday. Could that have > affected my settiings? If yes, how do I fix it.

It's not just the forms, it's everything is ACCESS. I'm sure something will pop up. Thank you for trying! -debi- > I don't think so.

I read it on a message board and I tried it and sure enough, everything opens as maximized. Are you able to get to the guts of the database (tables, forms, queries etc..)? If so, that could be the ONLY other thing I can think of that would cause that. > Hi Stockwell, thank you very much for all of your suggestions. Tried them > all, still stuck.

When you import there are tabs to click on so you can select what to import. If you see a macro that says maximize or autoexec don't import it and see what happens. Macros are built into Access and basically allow you to do functions without coding because it will do all the coding for you. Try it and see what happens. > Even if I create an entirely new mdb, everything still maximizes, so I don't > think it has anything to do with code, objects, etc. :( [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thank you very much! -debi- Now I'm confused.

If so, there is a Macro section as well. OR is your database set up so when it opens, you only see the form you input your information? Are you a user or the Administrator of the database, did you create it? > Now I'm confused.

I created it. I can see all the tables, forms, queries, etc. I have one macro that refreshes a query. > Are you able to see the Tables, Forms, Reports, Queries etc..

No other macro in the database? If not, I'm at a loss because I know it has to be something simple but I sure don't know what it could be. I am really sorry I couldn't be more help Debi. With everything we tried I thought for sure that would have been it but if you created it, you would know if you placed that Macro in there. In a couple of days if you do not get anymore responses, try posting again maybe in General Questions or Forms Coding. > I really appreciate your help!!! I created it.
