[AccessD] Control size of Report Preview window

Fred

I have been fighting the same problem, I don't want the form to maximize but 
want it to open large enough so that the user can read it without having to 
adjust the size. This is working much better than stock. I haven't finished 
testing it so no comments from my client as yet but it might help you solve 
your problem. use docmd.movesize

 Dim stDocName As String

    stDocName = "rptRequisitionStatus"
    DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom75
    DoCmd.MoveSize , , 11800


Play with the 1180 and be sure to check it on different resolution screens.

Subject: [AccessD] Control size of Report Preview window


Is there any way to control the size of the report preview window?

Runcommand acCmdZoom (10 ... 200) controls the size of the printing in the
window but doesn't control the size of the window.

Manually sizing the window and pressing the save button "kind of" works, but
the window gets progressively smaller as the front end is repeatedly
compacted and repaired. Also, when it's moved to a machine with a lower
resolution monitor it further shrinks.

Is there something using twips (like there is for forms) that I can read,
save & apply so the report preview window will be the same inch/cm
dimensions on all monitors, regardless of their resolution?
