[AccessD] Jumping Screen

Good question. I'm not calling the Resize or have any code in the Resize
event.  I am using the AHD resizing code. OK, I'll comment out the call to
adhScaleForm and see what happens.

OK the sequence is the same except for the first resize and it still jumps
in the same place.

Hi Rocky

The major question is the purpose of all this resizing? Except for one
special form - which should fill from top to bottom to display a scanned
portrait document as a background picture - I can't recall ever to have
resized forms.

Dear List:
 
This is getting serious now.  I made some changes to my A2003 product to fix
the problem of some of the forms not opening centered and maximized when
running the A2003 mde in A2007 and A2010. That problem is solved.
 
But now the forms jump unacceptably when the form is opened in the mde
version.
 
I tried to track it down by seeing if there's an event that's causing it.
So I put message Boxes in all the likely suspect events in just one form -
the Main Menu (figure if I can solve for this one form, I can do all).
 
Now in this application, whenever I go to a new form I close the calling
form - stops the user from navigating the open windows instead of my
carefully crafted menus. :)c
 
The ADH code for  resizing and other housekeeping functions is in the Open
event (I tried moving this to the Load event - no difference).  None of the
other events mentioned here have code except for the MsgBox.  When I open
the Main Menu then, here's the sequence of events:
 
Open
Resize
Load
Resize
Activate
Got Focus
Resize (after this one, the form actually appears) Lost Focus Current (no
record source on this menu - just a menu - at this point, part of the screen
shifts) Resize (big screen shift upwards) Resize (big screen shift
downwards)
 
So it's those last two resize events that are causing the jumping problem.
In the mdb - not so much.  In the mde - unacceptable.
 
Biggest problem - I don't know how to stop this behavior.
 
Any ideas are welcome.
