Access Forms 2010
Hi EE
I have developed a dB in 2003 one of the forms is large, width 39cm, it opens completely in 2003 but if I make an mde using 2010 or converting the dB to 2010 the form will only open to 34 cm. I can't expand in 2010 design view either. When I open this form a part is missing. Question, I have been into settings to try and correct this but can't find an adjustment surely 2010 doesn't restrict form width. Any help appreciated

Created a new Database in 2010 and designed a form which allowed me to go beyond the 35.5 mark. So problem is in my database. Have you any ideas how to rectify it's rather a large and complex form to redesign in 2010. At the moment I only want to make an mde which will run under 2010. I have two forms with the same problem.
Also if I try and design a new form within my Database it wont go beyond the 35.5 mark

I am completely stuffed I have another form in the Database that has a width of 40cm and it works fine. I compared properties with both forms and they are identical. I can't see Why this particular form wont open to it's required width. I think I will close this question it's something I will have to nut out not sure how

I put together a small Database with the problem form and removed the Code in the on open event to allow the form to open without adding tables and queries. I opened in 2010 to make sure it's working and it opened in full screen. So I figure there must be something causing the problem in the forms on open event code. I will investigate further and let you know if I do find a problem

I have found the problem. In the form on open event I found a Call statement
Call FormTool(me,100,55,1500,82 0)
Public Sub FormTool(frm As Form, Xpos, Ypos, xSize, ySize As Long)
Dim R As RECT
Dim Ret As Long
Dim FormHeight As Long
Dim FormWidth As Long
Dim IncrementW As Long
Dim IncrementH As Long
Ret = GetWindowRect(frm.hwnd, R)
FormWidth = R.Right - R.Left
FormHeight = R.Bottom - R.Top
Ret = MoveWindow(frm.hwnd, Xpos, Ypos, xSize, ySize, 1)
End Sub
From memory it's to place the form on specific location and Size.
I removed the Call formtool and fixed the problem

I did a search through out the Database and I used that Call FormTool in a lot of forms but rem'd them out and must have missed the Problem form.
