tiling two objects vertically

[WindAndWaves]

Hi everyone,

I have a main menu that opens a report and a form that I would like to
display at the same time (while hiding the main menu).

So far, I made the form a pop-up and the report a preview so that both are
visible. The form is really small so it works.

However, it would be much better if I could tile the report and the form
vertically where the form takes up about 5cm and the report the rest of the
screen.

I have been trying for a while, but can't find a solution.

Thank you for reading this, it would be cool to hear if anyone has an idea

Nicolaas

Perhaps embed the Report in the Form as a sub form/report?

Thanks Bradley

I tried that, but it seems that only reports can be embedded as subreports
and forms only as subforms. We are mixing here, that is a subreport in a
form does not work

I think I need to set the size of each window or something like that, but I
am not sure how.

Hmm, ok.

The next question I have is "why?". Why do you need both open at once?
Can't you put the control of your form on the report? (Haven't tried it
myself:)

You can manually size them and press Ctrl-S to save the position (if
they are not dialogs/modal/etc)....?

A fruitless question. Why someone wants to do something is irrelevent.

Maybe the RunCommand will work. Ex:
Docmd.Runcomman d acCmdTileVertic ally

As far as sizing it, you're on your own.

[Bri]

Nicolaas,

In the OnOpen Event of the form and report use
DoCmd.MoveSize [right][, down][, width][, height] (in Twips, 1440/inch)
See the Help for more info.

Hi Bri

I think this may be a good idea.

Also, Bradley and salad, the reason why I would like to do it is because the
report shows the booking information (for the restaurant) and the form
allows the person to make the booking.

I can't make the report into a form, because the report is perfect and vice
versa.

Asking why may help though because it allow you to think of other ways to
solve the actual problem. THat is, my problem is to let the waiter make a
booking while seeing the other bookings.. rather than displaying two at the
same time (that is just a solution really).

Not at all! Knowing why allows you to determine if there is a better way
of doing it. You must always understand why a client needs something.
It's an important part of the analysis.

Surely this information can be represented in a form?

Please explain what you mean by "perfect"? :) What prevents the
information being communicated on a form? (either in a similar format of
in a different way).
Asking why may help though because it allow you to think of other
ways to solve the actual problem. THat is, my problem is to let the

That was my reason for asking. I's sure a form based solution can be
used for this.
