Open a form in custom window 2

[MA04]

Hi all,

I have a command button on one form: form1 that opens another: form2. Form1 opens in a maximized window, now i want form2 to open in a restore window i.e. which is the size of form2, but leave form1 in maximized window. Also is it possible for form2 to open up on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will then allow user to view both form1 and form2 in desired format.

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance,
M-.

Take a look at the MoveSize method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

form2
AutoResize = No
AutoCenter = No
BoarderStyle = Dialog
PopUp = Yes
Modal = No
OnOpen Event of the Form2

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    Me.Move 10000, 5000
End Sub

You may have to change the 10000,5000 according to your requirement.

Thanks PHV and Zameer,

I tried to use moveSize previously could not get it to work, but when i entered Zameer's numbers 10000, 5000 to the movesize it worked. Problem i had with move size previously was i thought i had to enter all properties i.e DoCmd.MoveSize DoCmd.MoveSize 10000, 5000, , thought i had to deal with width and height also. Zameer could not get above Me.Move 10000, 5000 to work it through up error, but used DoCmd.Movesize 10000, 5000 instead did trick. Also turning forms pop up property to yes did the job of allowing form to be in restore window, Thank you,

Hi Zameer,
I get error "compile error, Method or data member not found", it highlights .Move . Bare in mind that i am using Access 97 . No problem though as MoveSize does do the trick.
