Hide Main Scrollbars

I have maximised my forms using code as mentioned in this post http://bytes.com/topic/access/answer...orm-not-others

Which is great, however, because not all of the form is showing on the screen Access displays scroll bars on the top and side. These are the programs main scroll bars, they are displayed because not all of the form is displayed. This is part and parcel of using the code mentioned in the post above which sets the forms size.

Is there any way of setting access not to show these scroll bars?

Solved: I found that if I set the border style to none this makes the form size fit to screen.

I've answered my own question, moderators please remove this post if you see fit to do so.

The post is of some worth Reginald. This should not be removed. In fact - I'd say go ahead and mark it as Best Answer.

An alternative approach would be to size it intelligently to the values provided, but with minor adjustments to fit completely within the available space. Frankly, your solution should be used for preference, and only use this if there is still limited space after that was tried.

Thanks Neo Pa. To get maximum space I have already done what you suggested and I have managed to work out specific size to fit the screen. I've even found a bit of code to minimise the ribbon to further maximise the space available. Again as you said this all by preference. And this will only work if screen resolution remains the same.

Need to find a bit of code that can check the screen resolution to make sure it not too low to display the maximised form in it entity.
