Zoom Box - Change Font

[BobStubbs]

This is a 'niggle' which I would love to solve ...

You can change the default font used in the 'Zoom Box' which you use to type formulae into queries etc (the window which appears when you press [Shift] + [F2]).

However, my Access 2000 installation always reverts to the standard 'Tahoma ... regular ... 8 point' font the next day.

I am sure there must be a setting somewhere to change this permanently to a font of my choice, but I can't find it!

Has anyone solved this, please?

Bob,

You will have to modify the Utility.MDA file.

Here's the information to walk you though that -

Thank you for this ... but sadly it does not work for Access 2000. The Microsoft article says it applies only to Access 1.1 and 2; when you try the technique in Access 2002 you find that you cannot open the Zoom Box form in design mode, so you can't change its font.

Bob,

Apologies, I had hoped the technique would still apply to the later verisons of Access as well, but as we both now know Microsoft has once again locked developers out of the product.
