There are third-party tools to dynamically re-size froms, but they can be
used in reverse to "lock" a size. However, you can simply set your forms'
Border Size property to "Dialog" ; this will prevent resizing from the
original design. Also consider the control buttons to Min/Max/Restore
window size, the AutoCenter and AutoResize form properties, and whether you
need Pop-up andor Modal properties.
You ask about the Access window, so not really sure what you're try to
accomplish. Most Access applications are a series of forms/menus, and the
developer determines what should be visible and where.

I am opening a dialog form (non-popup) maximized within the Access
application. I don't want the user to be able to size the Access window.

the Access window.
That is not really user-friendly -- the "Windows Way" is to allow the user
to control his/her own desktop. There are occasionally, _compelling_ reasons
for not allowing that, but the reason should definitely be a _compelling_
one, not just a matter of developer preference.

I know that it may not be '_user_friendly _' but if you need to do it,
one way is to make the border style thin and then on the on open event
of the form set docmd.maximize. You will probably also want to disable
the min and max buttons in the form properties as well. If you are
trying to control the sizing of the actual database window (shows your
table, queries and forms) I'm not sure if this is possible, but I would
suggest hiding the database window on open using the tools...startup
This is a non-popup form, maximnized within the MS Access database
window and what I want to do is prevent the user from sizing the MS
Access window hwile this form is displayed. The alternative is to make
it a popup form and hide the Access window entirely which is what I'll
do instead, unless there is a simpe code solution.
There is no simple code solution. You would have to subclass the main Access
App window.

startup, I configure the objects usting the RemotingConfiguration class to
load the config file. Then I "ping" each of the objects to call their
constructors. This all works fine if no one is attempting to connect at the...

In a comment Guido made on a recent bug report for the 'freeze'

"I think nobody really cares about freeze any more -- it isn't

That being the case, what is the preferred/best replacement for freeze
on a *nix platform? I'm looking for something that, like freeze,
turns my application into a single-file executable, of the smallest
size possible, that can be executed on a machine with no Python

My company is in the process of upgrading everyone to Access 2007. Since my machine was upgraded I've been highly frustrated with an apparent random behaviour byAccess that I can't understand. It involves databases that I created in Access 2002 (i.e. *.mdb files).
What happens is when I open a form that has the border style property set to 'Dialog', Access 2007 is correctly preserving the size of the form itself (i.e. if you look in the...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
