[AccessD] Access 2007 popups

Doug

I noticed this on the web

Try using in the form's On Open event the following:
DoCmd.MoveSize Right, Down, Width, Height
The units for the Right, Down, Width, Height arguments are twips (a twip is equal to 1/20 of a point, or 1/1440 of an inch...for metric, there are 567 twips in a centimetre).

I had the same problem and reset the forms size properties and it was Ok. I have noticed this is some DBs moved to 2007 as opposed to being developed in 2007.

Subject: [AccessD] Access 2007 popups

Does anyone have a solution for the problem in Access 2007 where a popup
window will open in a size so small that you can't grab it with the mouse
(approx 1/16 in wide and 1/2 in tall)?  I've seen it mentioned on the web,
and am having trouble with it on two different databases.

I've tried Movesize on opening and every possible combination of border
type, autosize, autocenter.

The frustrating part is that I seem to get the popups working, then suddenly
one user (not, of course the same user each time) will report that they've
reverted to tiny.  Once that happens for a user, they never seem to go back
to the proper size.

I'm being forced to set the popup property to No and have some really ugly
screens!
