i would suggest using builderzoom() it's one of access built in library files i believe. notice that when you use the zoom feature - it just opens a form.
check out the following it's from a newsgroup - not me - this person wrote their own zoombox function:
Public Function ZoomBox(strObjName As String, _
strCtlName As String, strCurrValue As String, _
Optional strFontName As String, _
Optional intFontWeight As Integer, _
Optional intFontSize As Integer) As Variant
ZoomBox = Application.Run("UTILITY.BuilderZoom", strObjName, _
strCtlName, strCurrValue, strFontName, intFontWeight, _
intFontSize)
End Function

Just because you have an answer - doesn't mean it's the best answer.
