Some users who we've recently upgraded to Office365 business standard are now experiencing an issue where their acCmdZoomBox loads with font size one and is un-readable, I'm unsure what's caused this issue or how to work around it,
thanks

The only time its happened to me was after I changed the settings & forgot to restore the previous values
When the Zoom box opens, click the Font button and change the font size to whatever you want e.g. 12.
You can also change the font style and name if you want.
The changes will 'stick' even after Access is closed and will still be there in a new session

That's part of the problem, on the effected PCs the font button causes a crash to desktop
Hmm I've read about that somewhere... But I can't find a reference to it

but not quite.

Yea, this is not the ZoomBox itself, this is just the font settings within it, which are currently set to an un-usable setting, so we need to be able to get it to open without an error to sort itHmm I've read about that somewhere... But I can't find a reference to it

I wonder if this code might help you force the size? https://bytes.com/topic/access/answe...-font-zoom-box
It refences A2003, I doubt if it will still work, I don't know where the Zoom box properties are stored these days.

I had tried this one before and access just doesn't recognise the reference, just get "variable not defined" errorI wonder if this code might help you force the size? https://bytes.com/topic/access/answe...-font-zoom-box

utility.zoom_iFontSize = 24
That a pain.
On a troublesome machine, If you create a new access database and a single table and enter some data and press the zoom box does it still crash?
Edit - if it's still playing up you could switch over to a custom zoom box : https://www.vb123.com.au/200602_mt_zoom.htm

Lol, yea, that's the fix I've come up with, for users with issues i've made a 1 form database compiled with Access365 that does work and sets the default for their PC that then sticks for the troublesome database, as one of my guys said "oh god, that's such a bodge" :-)

I ended up using the ugliest hack to sort this, I put a small "fix" button next to the zoombox button, it opens a totally separate database with 1 form with a zoombox button, the Font button works there and allows changing the default for Access to be a usable ZoomBox again, users only have to use it once but it's still such a bodge!
I didn't realise both sites were so closely linked, or just not all heroes wear capes
The sites are not linked at all though many helpers visit multiple sites on a regular basis.
That's why it is always appreciated when members state if they have crossposted, provide a link AND provide a follow up at resolution (as you did)
