In post 205095, Dave Willett asked for a way to determine the current size and position of a form. I created a simple form for this, of which various versions have been posted in that thread.
Attached to this post is a new version in the form of an add-in for Access 2000/2002. If you install this add-in, it will be available in all your databases. It can be used while developing a database to position or size forms to exact specifications.
Instructions for installation:
- Download the attachment.
- Unzip FormSize.mda to any folder.
- Open any database (but not FormSize.mda itself).
- Select Tools/Add-ins/Add-in Manager.
- Click Add…
- Browse to FormSize.mda and click Open.
- The add-in should be checked automatically; if not, click Install.
- Click Close
[/list]Instructions for use:- Select Tools/Add-ins/Size Viewer.
- By default, the position and size of the add-in window itself are displayed in twips (1 inch = 1440 twips).
- You can select any open form (in form view, datasheet view or design mode) from the dropdown list near the top.
- You can select a unit (inches, centimeters, pixels or twips) from the dropdown list near the bottom.
- The list of open forms is not keptup-to-date automatically. Click Refresh to update the list.
[/list]Enjoy!Note: you use this add-in at your own risk. Comments and complaints can be posted in this thread or in a PM to me.
