Reset Form Position

[Luki117]

Hello,

I'm Lukas from Germany and i'm new here.


I have a problem wich has been bothering me for a long time:
I have a database with a main form wich is declered as PopUp. While loading i enlarge it with "DoCmd.Maximize"

When i work with it, i always also has to work with other software. When i turn back to the form via clicking the Access symbol in the taskbar, the form is always shifted to a other position, so i cant work with it longer. I have to restart the database.... The form is movable, but only at the upper bar, but this isn't visible in this case.

Any idea?

There are several possible solutions.
For example, you could try centering the form or use DoCmd.MoveSize code in e.g. the Form_Activate event

It is also possible to drag a borderless form using code. See the Drag Form item in my example app: Control Application Interface

Thanks, but the Fom_Activate command (and i believe any other access command) is not triggered by clicking the Access symbol in the task bar.
Dont know how to center the form or how to drag a borderless by using code?

Whilst it doesn't happen automatically, you can trigger such code if clicking the icon causes the form to regain focus.

As already stated, my Control Application Interface article & example app demonstrates how you can drag a borderless form using code. Did you look at the article / example app in my link?

You can centre a form horizontally by setting Auto Center = "Yes" in the form property sheet.
Or you can do so both horizontally & vertically by using code. I have several different code examples in another article: Centre Form On Screen
For more precise control, to a specific location / size, use DoCmd.MoveSize code e.g. DoCmd.MoveSize 500, 1000, 10000, 8000 where all numbers are in TWIPS (1440 twips = 1 inch)

The centering works for me. When i turn back from other programs its smaller but centered in the middle. So i can reach all other command buttons. Thanks a lot!
