Size screen

[bebelino]

How do I know the width and the height of the access screen? This is
to place forms in the right place and covering the whole screen.
thanks.

Not knowing what screen resolution you are using . . .

Create a rectangle on a form and make it the size you want it to occupy on
the screen, then open its property sheet and check the Width and Height
properties.

Still one question. They say you should take a small-offset so that
the scrollbars don't appear on the main MDIform. On one computer
everything is allright. When transfering it to another computer the
scroll-barrs do appear and I need change the small-offset number to a
greater one. Do you have an answer to this one??
thanks,

Does the other PC have "Large Fonts" in Windows? That tends to screw
things up as at 1024x768 with large fonts you have about the same
screen real estate as 800x600 with normal fonts. If this is the case
you have about 3 choices, either cater for it in your program,
encourage the user to go to a lower resolution and normal fonts or
else get them to re-visit their optician and get a better pair of
bins.

No, it's not a problem with font sizes.
It's just when I'm setting the forms to the size the Access-MDI-form
has, sometimes the scrollbars appear on the Access-MDI and sometimes
they don't. Off course I want them not to appear because they take
away a bit of the actual form shown. I tried also a small offset. By
this I mean that I make the form a bit smaller than the actual size of
the MDI.
I think the problem has got something to do with the access-toolbars.
But I don't know how to solve it.

If I ever come around this problem I will advise the better pair of
bins ;-)

This may help.

Function NoToolBars()
Dim cb As CommandBar
On Error Resume Next
For Each cb In Application.CommandBars
Debug.Print cb.Name
cb.Visible = False
Next
End Function

Why didn't I come up with that one ;-)
Nice, I think I can solve the problems now.
