Why does moving a Form cause the Resize event to fire?

It seems kind of strange that if a Form is just moved that Resize events
fire. This makes it hard to tell the difference betweeen resizing and moving
a Form.

I can understand why resizing might also be considered a move (since the
Form's location can be thought to be based on one from Top/Bottom and one
from Left/Right, and some of these WILL change when resizing), but can't
understand why JUST moving is considered resizing. I was trying to create an
automatic pop-up window that shows the size dimensions (w,h) of the Form as
it is being resized. But it also comes up when I'm moving the Form, which
looks odd.

I suppose I could keep track of the size of the Form and then ignore any
Resize event if the size is unchanged. But IMHO that's a kludgy work around,
since IMHO Resize events should not fire if the Form doesn't change size!

I have a puzzling form timer problem that I didn't experience prior to Access 2003 (though I'm not sure access 2003 is to blame). Here's the situation: a computer has two access 2003 databases on it, a frontend and a backend. Case 1: If vba code on the frontend updates many rows (360,000) on the backend, a form's timer event (from the frontend) will stop firing until the user gives the form focus. (Note that the update itself always...

Hi all, I notice that the Form_Dirty event does not fire in Access 2002 (SP-1) when the first character is typed into a new record. In previous versions of Access it does fire. For existing records that are being edited, the event does fire. Has this (previous) behaviour been changed by Microsoft?

I have some old code that I use from the Access 95 Developers handbook. The code works very well, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize wide screens, and sizes tab controls so that they are too big and wind up covering up some of the fields on the main form. Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will also either a) stretch the form width wise on widescreens or b), rely on height rather than...

I've noticed some old posts regarding this issue; but nothing recently and no resolutions in the old postings. Its almost hard for me to believe that this wouldn't be fixed by now. I am using Access 2007. The Forms Load event does not fire when the form is displayed. It does fire when the next button "On Click" event occurs. I have 5 or 6 buttons, and it doesn't matter which one I press. The actual action

Hi: I am trying to get access to the event after a window has been resized. The events I have been using SizeChanged and Resize all fire after any pixel size change. What I am trying to achieve is after the window has been dragged to a new size (or maximized/restored) then I redraw the images within the form. If I do it on Resize, then it tries to redraw as the form is being resized,
