I have a Single Form, with Min Max Buttons "Both Enabled" and I don't see the minimize or maximise button and only "Close". Any ideas what I might have changed?
I have tried all Min Max Buttons settings but none of them gave either minimize or maximize window option.
Also tried opening a form with the OnLoad procedure "Docmd.maximize" and it did not work either so I ran out of ideas. Could anyone assist please?

I have pop-up form for data entry. The form has a subform on it that is surrounded by blank cells of equal sizes similar to padding. (Why not use padding instead? Because I want to add functionality to those cells later on). When I view the form in form view (opening it), part of the right hand side is cut off such that it no longer looks like equally sized padding.
What's weird is that if I look at the form in layout view, the form is not cut off. And if I then open the form FROM Layout view, the form is also not cut off. But if I open the form in any other way (from a button, vba, right click open from navigator etc.), it is being cut off every time.
Does anybody know why this might be happening and how I might fix it?
Form being cut off
Form not cut off in layout view
Form not cut off when opened FROM layout view
I found this issue occurs when working in access with a higher display resolution than 1920x1080. 3440x1440 in my case.
The only solutions I have found is what you described by opening the form in layout view then switching to form view then save the form.
Only other option is changing display resolution.
I'd like to share a "work around" on this same subject, hopefully it may help in certain cases where the issue is NOT due to Form Sizing through VBA code, which is determined to be the cause inadvertently.
My scenario:
Popup forms, set to auto center, auto resize, fit to screen = truncated, or overcropped form (and DESPITE my own VBA sizing code, which doesn't seemingly "take" or correct the issue).
I usually/often have the scrollbars property set to "neither", so I tried setting "both" on, and the popup form is no longer truncated. I then tried with ONLY the "Horizonal" bar set to on, and it still worked correctly. I then turned both BACK OFF and the form still sized correctly. I saved the form and it appears to have retained the "sizing" properly going forward.
It's as if when you turn these options to neither, the space normally occupied by those scrollbars is "taken off" the borders of the form "again" so maybe toggling that property to both/vertical only/horizontal only/neither "resets" and corrects it. Just a guess.
Hope this helps, spread the word of this little "work around."

I am currently working in MS access 2013, and having an issue with some forms that worked previously. I have gone back and edited them to have different functionality. I need the forms to be pop ups. Now, they work perfectly when they aren't pop-ups, but as soon as I change the forms to pop-ups the forms pop up off screen. I have no clue how to fix this.
Now the first thing I did was start from an old verison, and I was just going to remake the form; however, as soon as I change ONE thing from those old forms the form starts popping up off screen again.
Has anyone had this issue or know how to resolve it?
If you have two monitors or if your application is created in a secondary monitor and used in a single monitor machine, this behavior is expected. As EvDev mentioned. Set the "auto center" = Yes and edit your application in the default monitor.
Set the Auto Center property of the form to True.
Im having an intermittent problem where forms open in view mode but minimised, looking like a small inch-sized box with the 'X' close button visible.
It normally seems to happen when Ive made a change to the form or code in the forms module, but happens randomly when being used in view mode.
I can only get round it by either re-importing a backup of the form or making the form border sizeable, either way it's not too professional.
Any ideas how I can solve this one?
Docmd.Restore seems to work on the form load event
I have tried this in multiple browsers and have done searches for this but have not been able to find a solution.
So here is the problem. I have CHtml::dropDownLists on my page. When you tab to that you can sometimes just type to change to an option that is with in it but there are other times where you have to actually click on that before you can start typing to change. Granted once you click on it you can change it but I need to have more of a hands off mouse control.
I was curious if this was based on how the browser placed items with its DOM or if it is something with Yii.
Any thoughts, pointer, hidden websites about this would be greatly appreciated.
I have a dialog box with a bunch of dimensions that a user can change by moving/dragging, including a JTable with resizable/draggable columns.
What I would like to do is to make the state of these resizable columns / dialog boxes / etc. persistent, so the next time my application starts up, the user doesn't have to go through the resizing step all over again.
What's the most convenient way to do this?
You should probably take a look at the code in (the now probably dead) JSR-296. A part of it was focused on persistent session state, and I know for sure that the code for persisting window locations and such was already functional and in the basic framework. It should either already do what you want, or provide a good starting point.
