Min max buttons on a report using Access 2007
I’m using Access 2007 and have a new issue since I upgraded from 2003.
When I have a report open in print preview… “acPreview”, it opens on the screen
and I can see the min max buttons. If I minimize the report and then maximize again, the min max buttons are gone. But on a computer running Access 2003 the min max buttons do still appear after minimizing and maximizing which is what I want to have happen. What is wrong with my 2007 version and is there a way to correct the situation?

the min max button is still there, it is below the Access Help (?) icon.
That's not normal behavior, so I'd suspect either something wrong with the database or something wrong with your installation of Access.
For the database:
1) Make a backup
2) Click the Office Button - Manage - Compact
If that doesn't work, try to Decompile. Build a shortcut with a target like this:
"full path to msaccess.exe" "full path to your db" /decompile
After doing this, open the VBA Editor and click Debug - Compile. Fix any errors, and continue doing this until the menuitem is disabled.
Compact again.
If that doesn't work, try importing into a new, blank database.
If those don't work, try a repair or reinstall of Access or Office.

It is not below the Access Help (?) icon.
I'll have to try the 2nd recommendation tonight.
But I still don't understand why it works with 2003 and not 2007.

...but remember, when the report is Maximized (in Print Preview), you can use the "Zoom" slider in the bottom right Corner of the screen to Resize the report dynamically....
