Centering a Form within the Monitor screen

[ashim]

In access software, I would like to make a form center. How it is possible, please inform me.

Try setting the form AutoCenter property to Yes.

First off, many things, vis-à-vis form design, work differently in post-2003 Databases because of the Document Window Options, a new option with 2007/2013, which defaults to 'Tabbed Documents.' Changing this option to Overlapping Windows basically causes many things in Form Design to act like they did pre-2007.

1. Go to Office Button (Big Icon, Top/Left)
2. Click on Access Options (bottom, right of Dialog Box)
3. Click on Current Database
4. Under Document Window Options tick Overlapping Windows
5. Click on OK (Bottom, Right)
6. Close the Messagebox, then Close and Re-open Access

Step #1 may be slightly different in Version 2013. The 'Boys of Redmond' appear to enjoy changing some very basic items, like the Office Suites' Office Button or Windows 'Start' Button, just for the heck of it!

AutoCenter only centers Horizontally, not Vertically, and actually can interfer, at times, if you are manually positioning a Form, which is the only reliable way to center a Form, on both axies, that I’ve found, without using MoveSize. I tried using MoveSize a number of times, in the past, but found it to be more trouble than it was worth. Of course, that’s just me, and many people swear by it! This following method has worked for me for years; once changing the Document Window Options to Overlapping:

Then, for all Versions, in Form Design View

1. Set AutoCenter to No
2. Set AutoResize to No
3. Size and Move the Form to desired position
4. Click on Save
5. Close Form without doing anything else!

You might have to tweak this a little, by repeating Steps 1-5, to get it to the exact, desired position.
