Size Form to fit user resolution

I have several multi-user Access applications. After much time-consuming research I have not been able to find anything that works on this question:

How can I get my forms to automatically fit the USER'S screen with their set resolution with the OnLoad event of a form

I have already tried me.height, me.width with no success. Anyone have any other suggestions Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but this is one of only 2 posts I've done in this forum. What's different about your blue words and your purple words I assume purples are objects or variables I need to name

If that's not the case, I tried your code and it didn't work. Besides object names which of the above words in your code do I need to substitute with my application objects or variables

Thanks for your time.

Blue are VB Keywords and purple is identifiers. You can setup custom formatting in the IDE through the options menu to make you coding easier to follow and find issues for yourself! In the Sample above in VB.Net it would be unneccesary to rename anything.... However it will not work inside of an office app such as Excel or Access!

I'm moving this thread to the VBA forum so you can get a better response to your question

This is a VBA forum, right Every time I enter this forum I am clicking on "Visual Basic Language"! If I'm in the wrong place - don't think I am though - how bout giving me a link to the RIGHT place, huh, huh, huh

Anyway, thanks alot for your help. What I am seeking, however, is code that will work in Access - that's where my apps were developed. I guess I should have specified that to begin with huh DUH!

So how bout it DMAN Got some VBA code or any other suggestions that'll work

It's a good day - SMILE! (Emoticons are fun!)

Thanks Brendan.

I get the following VB error:

Run-time error '2465': Application-define or object-defined error. Here's my code. Did I miss something

With Forms!Form1

.Height = 300
.Width = 300

End with

SInce this "Forms!Form1" is not .NET syntax...Is this a VBA question

What happens when you set Me.Height and Me.Width (or just Me.Size) to your desired size

I ask because it sounds like you are on the right track to se the Height and Width properties of the form either within its constructor (but after the call to InitializeComponents) or within the handler of the Load function.

OK - I get it finally - I saw the "not for VB6" in the header line of this forum. So where's the VB6 forum

If I want my entire website to fit to the user's resolution - can I still use this code If so, where do I put it

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Me.MaximizedBounds = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

End Sub
