    Cascade Forms

    Greetings,



    I have several instance of forms that I have opened that I would like to have cascade across the screen.

    I am currently using Access Version 1710(Office 365 ProPlus)

    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowCascade

    This is what I want, however the windows get resized to be bigger than the form actually is and I end up with them being about screen width, when they need to be about half that.

    Any suggestions?

    Did test. All windows are the same size and proportional to the app window, about 3/4 the app width.

    Exactly, I would like them to not have their size changed. Just the position within the app.

    Doubt that is possible with nature of cascade.

    If you want to control form position in the Access window then use Move method https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba...-method-access

    That works.

    I ended up using

    Code:
    arrForms(n).Move arrForms(n).WindowLeft, Width:=11175 ' 11175 is the original window width
    Thanks for the idea!
