    match custom page size to screen resolution?


    I want to use the print preview function to preview what my forms will look like on my users' screens.

    Is it possible to set a custom page size that matches a screen resolution?

    press the MAXIMIZE button.
    The page size matches PRINTER resolution.

    There are several fixed zoom levels available, intended for use with report. Don't know if this can be applied to form. Example:

    DoCmd.OpenReport "rptYourReport", acViewPreview
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom150

    Forgive my ignorance. I'm using 2007 in development mode and the only maximise button I can find is not on a form, it's on the main access bar, top right and it's already maximised.

    Hmmn - there doesn't seem to be a way of changing the aspect ratio so this might not be what I'm after but I'm going to give it a try.

    Please could you tell me where to stick it?

    Forms and reports objects do have minimize/maximize/close buttons - if not deactivated by property settings.

    Maybe code in a button that opens form or report?
