Hi, I have a strange problem. When I open my Access project, then main forms appear very very far down. I have a Vertical Scroll bar and I have to scroll a lot to see my form. And when I click a button to open an other form, the form open normally at the begin so I have to scroll up to see this form.

Someone already had this problem or already see something about this problem?
 
Hi Rizar,
Looks like your main form is positioned too far down. You can either move it upwards (dragging) and then save. If this doesn't help, you problably not able to modify it in form view. Go to desingview, drag it up to the right place, save the form and go to form view. That should do the trick - I hope

Well to be true I never saw this problem, it's a customer... He said that he cannot move it up, that's not working...

He was using this application since... hmmm few month and that problem never appear. So can I say that's an MS Access problem?

I'm a bit lost, because, like I said, this problem is kinda new. Well I'll keep looking, but actually I'm not really looking for a solution but I'm looking for someone or an article that can confirm if it's my problem or Access problem. Ty for reply anyway.
 
Hi Rizar,
Did you build the application?
I figure that a strange combination of forms or actions by your customer pushed the form way down. Since the customer cannot move it (problably locked in form view) it stays where it is.

I have seen this roblem a few times and i use both 2003 and 2000. The main windown disappears off the screen or so it seems, in fact it just moved to the very bottom/right of the access window and so I had to scroll down and across to get it back in the window (windows/tile also works). I p[ersonally think it is a bug within access.



Program Error
Programmers do it one finger at a time!
 
Thanks you very much, that's the same think that happen to my customer bottom/right. Well I found nothing about this issue... ty again.
