the command or action zoom 100% isn't available now

[Gina Maylone]

Good morning!

My database contains several note fields, that can get quite long, they are long text, usually I add

Docmd.runcommand accmdzoom100%

to the double click event. But in this db I continue to get the error: the command or action zoom 100% isn't available now. I've read some posts, none of which actually solve the problem. Is this a palm to forehead issue? Or something deeper and more sinister?

TIA. Have an awesome day!

when you say fields do you mean text boxes on a form?

Yes, exactly.

Hi Gina,

I'm not sure how you are using the command, but I tried setting the double click event on a text box and got the same error as you did.
I looked in HELP under "AcCommand Enumeration" and found "acCmdZoom100", but not "acCmdZoom100%". (still have the same error).

I tried "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox" and the zoombox appeared with the text.
Not sure if this will help, try deleting the % sign......

What you are using is for zooming a report not a text box control on a form.

Try:

RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

Actually there really isn't a % sign, just DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom100. I guess I'll just change it to zoom box. Thanks Steve! Hope all is well!
