ACC2000: How to Set the Opening Position of a Form on the Screen
This article was previously published under Q208299
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).
This article describes how to set, or change, the screen position where a form will open.
If you open a form, drag it to a new position on the screen, and then close
it, when you reopen the form, it will appear in the same position where it
was before you dragged it. If you want to change the position where a form
opens, follow these steps:
- Open the form in Design view.
- If the property sheet of the form is not yet open, on the View menu, click Properties.
- Set the AutoCenter property of the form to No.
- Save the form and close it.
- Open the form in Form view.
- Move the form to any location on the screen.
- On the File menu, click Save. When you close the form and reopen it, it will open in that position on the screen.
- When you want the form to open in a new position on the screen, repeat steps 5 through 7.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Access 2000 Standard Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
