Pop up Form size and location

[wdrspens]

I have a main form on which there is a button to open a Pop Up Form, which is, in fact, a split form. The Pop Up form should be quite small, but when I click on the button the Pop Up Form is huge showing vast amounts of white space.
I can drag the borders inwards to the size I want, but when I have saved everything in the position I want (right click, "close" sometimes gives me the option to save) it still opens the same huge size the next time I click on the button.
Auto Center is Yes. Auto Resize is Yes. Fit to Screen is No. Border style is Sizable.
Is there any way I can compel the Pop Up to open at a certain size and/or position?
Thanks
David

you need to get it in design mode, and move something slightly - then resize it and it should now save resized

Thank you, but unfortunately that did not work.

Sounds like you may be on Access 2007. If so, have you done this:

Many thanks.
No I have not done what your link suggests, because I basically like the 2007 format with the occasional floating window, as long as that window is not too big.
At the moment I am resizing it every time I open it - which is a bore, but not impossible - and I was hoping for some way to force it to be a given size.
Thanks

The Link is broken, and I have the same question.
Thanks in advance.

You might try something like this......

Private Sub Form_Load()
Form.Move Left:=11500, Top:=6500, Width:=7000, Height:=6000
End Sub

See if that does what you are looking for... then play with the numbers.

NICE!!
Thanks that worked...
Well it worked for the forms; I also have a report. That works for the position, but not size

Thanks CEH, that worked perfectly for me as well.

I just want to add my experience with this.

The code above works perfectly however in my case I just needed to adjust the "Top" distance.
I was able to simply change the "Auto Center" property of the form (under Format tab 12th one down) to "No". This will allow you to manually position the form (in design mode) wherever you want it to be and save it at that location.

Cheers!
