A2010 Zoom % error "Isn't available now"

When I try to use the acCmdZoom150 in A2010, I get an "Isn't available now" error. I get the same error when I try acCmdFitToWindow. Is this a missing reference or something else?

I'm converting from A2003 to A2010.

Are you doing this in a Report or elsewhere ?

I think those commands only apply to Reports ... or possible the Print Preview of a Form.

^Agree with above, ...also, please be specific when you say:
"I try to use the acCmdZoom150 in A2010"
Use for what object?
Use it on what event?
...and please post the full code, perhaps you have the syntax wrong.

I'm doing this in the OnClick event for a memo field in a form. In A2003, I used acCmdZoomBox, but I would like to make the zoom area larger for easier typing and reading.

The event code is just one line:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom150

Then the Object Zoom command is not what you want.

try code like this, it works fine for me on a button in a form:

Me.YourMemoControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
