Form sometimes appears to be hidden while it is fully loaded

[jvdwild]

Hello,

I have a form which I use for warehouse administration. I have a form which is an overview of all positions in one row of storage racks in which every position has its unique location identifier (such as A00-L(eft) or G12-M(iddle)), as you can see in my second picture below. Every position has a button, which a new form opens where some information of the pallet stored in that position is shown, as well as linked pictures. The pictures are shown in a subform using the method explained here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/285820.

I am running access 2003 on a windows 7 64 bit OS, and everything works perfectly. I run into a weird problem that occurs on a pc with windows 10 installed. The problem is that when the individual pallet information form is opened, sometimes it opens completely as it's supposed to, as shown in the first picture below. But other times, part of the form appears to be hidden, shown in the second picture below.

When it does this, the form still seems to be active, because clicking the red STOP square in the bottom right corner, still closes the form (Or actually I click where the red square is supposed to be). Re-opening the form sometimes results in the form fully displaying, other times not.



Do you have any ideas what might cause this? I have looked for an answer but I didn't get further than Docmd.Maximize of in the OnLoad() or some resize command, but both didn't work.

kind regards,
Joris

So the image control IS on the form and not its own form?
the 2nd photo looks to be a continuous form. Is this true?

the image control is not set to resize to the picture?

The form you see on the second photo is the main form (called MGZ01), this is a continuous form. This form has a button, circled in red below. This button opens form MGZ04. Within MGZ04 I have subform MGZ04A, this subform contains the image. This form MGZ04 is supposed to look like the first photo in my first post. And it's actually not an image control but rather a Web browser control; I link to a picture online.

So, what you actually see in the second picture, is the main form MGZ01 with only part of the subform of MGZ04A. Sometimes parts MGZ04 are also shown, sometimes it is just MGZ04A. Other times the form displays normally. But always, the form is fully active. There are multiple buttons which I still can press and they function as they should.

The web browser control is not set to resize, as it display a webpage, and this contains a lot of whitespace. This looks strange when resized, so I rather just display the full image, so only a small white space is present. Here is an image of how the webpage looks in chrome:

Web browser may be the problem. Image control does not resize. You could add a dbl-click to the image control to show full screen. (Like in a browser)
