[AccessD] Forms Jumping in mde

A.D.:

Thanks for your reply.  I'll give that a try although converting the entire
app may be a big job.  

I use the following code in each form:

' If mde then turn off windows in taskbar and menu bar
Set db = CurrentDb
If InStr(1, db.Name, "mde") <> 0 Then
    Me.MenuBar = "=1"
    On Error GoTo Err_Form_Open
End If

To turn off the menu bar.  Do you think that might be causing the jumping?

Rocky,

    As far as I recollect, your earlier problem had its roots in run time
alteration of tool bars.

    In the present case, you might like to experiment whether the problem
gets resolved if the forms are made pop up, as in that case there should be
no resultant disturbance as a result of varying real estate occupied by tool
bars.

Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal

  OK, Last Clue - I put the mde on my test bed and ran it in 2010 - no
  jumping; I ran it in 2007 - no jumping;  I ran it in 2003 - JUMPING!!!

  Something to do with 2003 apparently even though the mdb was developed and
  is maintained in 2003 and compiled to the mde in 2003.  Could it be just
my
  install?

  I'm noticing that there is a small jump when using the mdb.  SO it may not
  be related just to the mdb but the mde may be exaggerating the effect.

  Or even better, is there some way to eliminate that jumping without having
  to do a lot of reprogramming and testing (just commenting out the closes
  won't work completely because I do some navigating based on whether
another
  form is open).

  TIA

  Dear List:
   
  I have an application which, when compiled into an mde, causes the forms
to
  jump annoyingly when they open.
   
  I had this problem with another application years ago and got a fix from
  A.D. but that doesn't seem to work on this app.
   
  In each form I do the form resizing from the ADH and call the routines to
  translate the form into a different language.  Suspecting these might be
the
  problem, I commented out all calls to those routines.  No difference.
   
  I also close each form that calls another form so that only one form is
open
  at a time.  I commented out those closes. And the jumping went away. I
  originally put those closes in there to keep the users from using the open
  windows for navigating but I turn off the menu bar with the windows list
  box, and turn off the windows in the taskbar if it's the mde.  
   
  Is there some limit or downside to having a lot of windows open at once?
  There are about 150 forms in this app.
