[AccessD] Maximize in A2010

It's difficult for me to say.  I have about 100 users for different databases, all on different computers, and was getting some complaints about screens not fitting the monitors and controls moving to the wrong place.   But it's hard to know exactly what was going on in the different situations -- the users are generally not reliable reporters.   I had been using ADH since 1999 or so and was reluctant to switch as well.

I'm getting fewer complaints with AD Tejpal's code.  I just did a mass find and replace with some occasional editing -- it went pretty smoothly.  

But you may be having a different issue if it's just a maximizing problem.

  Do you think the maximize problem is an artifact of the resizing code?

  The ADH code has caused me some problems over the years, but has been pretty
  reliable.  I've got a lot of forms to change over so I'm not anxious to
  switch but if I have to...

  Rocky,

  I was having problems with my Access2000 format database resizing correctly
  in Access2010 using the ADH code.  

  I'm having pretty good results using AD Tejpel's code instead:

   Amongst various alternatives, my sample db named Form_Resize (in access
  2003 file format, reference: DAO 3.6), might be of interest to you It is
  available at Rogers Access Library. Link:

    Dear List:
     
    I have an mde compiled in A2003 - works fine.  When running in A2010,
    however, some of the forms do not open maximized.  I use the same sort of
    housekeeping in the Open module of every form -  use the ADH form resizing
    code and issue a DoCmd.Maximize.  
     
    Has anyone seen this behavior and/or developed a workaround?  
     
    I would prefer not to convert the app to 2010 and compile as many of my
    customers are still on 2003 or 2007 and I would prefer not to have to
    support two version and find out which version they're on before sending
    them the system.
