Using MS Access 2010,
does anyone know how to change the default font size when using the Zoom Box on a permanent basis not having to set the font size every time you open Access?
I have found an answer here for Access 2016 but don't know how to try it for Access 2010.

I'm developing an SSRS report in Visual Studio 2012. The report is set up to use landscape orientation. There is a 0.25in margin on the left and no margin on the right. The report is 10.5 inches wide. ConsumeContainerWhitespace is set to True. There are no hidden objects outside of the normal report area.
When I look at the report in print view or actually print it out there is a huge amount of white space on the right side of the report. It's almost like the report is being shrunk and then left justified when printing.
I would love to get this fixed so the report prints the same as it looks in the designer. If anyone has an opinion or some input it would be most welcome. Thank you!
This problem appears when a Windows 10 user has their DPI set to a value that is higher than %100. If DPI is set to %100 then the issue does not occur and no white space is seen when doing a print view or actually printing the report.
This is a common issue with Windows 10 and certain applications including ClickOnce apps like the one I'm using to run the reports. There does not seem to be a way to fix this from within Visual Studio as you can't make an application DPI aware that uses the ClickOnce deployment model.
The following steps will fix a Report temporarily until it is updated and the .exe is overwritten. This fix will also work for other Windows 10 apps, including Chrome, that appear blurry from using a custom DPI over %100. Be aware though that while this fix will fix blurry fonts in a ClickOnce app and white space in an SSRS report it can also disturb control positioning and form size.
Navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0
Under the 2.0 directory you will see one or more folders that are named with a random set of letters and numbers. Within these directories you must find the folder for the desired application. The folders will usually start with the first 3 or four letters of the application but there can be more than one folder that exists for your application.
Locate the .exe for your application. There may be more than one .exe for your app so apply this fix fix to all of them just to be sure.
Rightclick on the .exe and select properties and click the Compatibility tab.
Check the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox and click OK
Rerun your application and create a report that opens the report viewer.
Click the Print Layout button. The report should now be displayed with no white space on the right.
Print the report. There should be no extra white space on the right side of the report.
You can also work around the issue by temporarily setting your DPI back to %100 but I think that is a poor solution.
If it is a matrix report, you may also try setting the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace to true. It is Report level property that you can find under "Other".
or else if it is a tabular report then adjust the margin and width accordingly.

You have me stumped but things I would check:
There isn't a textbox or label or something pushing past the boundary of the expected margin. This causes the report to print like what you are seeing. Just expand the report and make sure everything is actually less than 10.25 inches.
Is your paper size set to letter?
I don't know if this is a general problem with Office 2016, or if it is specific to Windows 10 users, but I find that sizable MDI forms in Access 2016 have a single-pixel border that is very hard to grab with the mouse.
The form borders show as a single-pixel red line, and have no difference in appearance regardless of the mode of the form, whether the mode is "no border", "dialog", "sizable" or "thin". The border appears the same in design mode, as in the example below.
I've tried this on a couple of different computers running Office 2016 under Windows 10, and the problem is the same, so it's not a driver issue. I've opened the database under Office 2010 and Windows 7 and the borders come up at the normal size for Windows 7. I haven't tried Office 2016 under Windows 7 though.
I have to assume that the problem is related to the way that form borders are handled in Windows 10, where the drop-shadow forms part of the draggable area.
Is there any way around this?
Yes and it's a P.I.T.A. The 2 workarounds I've been using are,
1. 'slide' the mouse along the border you want while vigilantly watching for the curser to change and then go mouse button click.
2. use TAB to cycle through the graphic object then right-click to operate on it (align, size, position).
This tip I have found on the Internet and tried it.
I used playing around with the 2 values BorderWidth and PaddedBorderWidth found with Regedit in the key HKEY_CURRENT_YSER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.
After setting BorderWidth to -50 and PaddedBorderWidth to 0.
The result was that the borders remained approximately 1 pixel wide, but once you selected it, they are shown wider.
Still no solution for the fore mentioned primary question though.
I am designing a web database using Access 2010
I have put a macro which uses the openform action
The Window Mode for this Action is "Dialog". in the dropdown this is the only option which is available for this setting.
when the form opens up, i can see that it is very small and its size is fixed.
I want to set the initial size of the form, or atleast make it resizeable so that uses can enter data properly in the newly opened form
I had the same problem, but found this:
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=G78tE7JjgDcC&pg=PA775&lpg=PA775&dq=access+2010+macro+set+window%2Bmode&source=bl&ots=bvmf2qN0fL&sig=gcAysal_0g1jJ3gOJP2c5WGVbKE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=yMkeUI-KJaWG0AXNu4GoAw&ved=0CE0Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=access%202010%20macro%20set%20window%2Bmode&f=false
(bottom of page 775)
Shows that Access 2010 macros are web based and only open forms in dialogue mode, not tabbed mode as in access. This does not show any other way around the problem! But I'm still looking.
I have an uploaded PDF which, when clicked in the browser, is displayed using Adobe or whatever plugin the user has. But it's a pretty large file, so I'm wondering if there is a way to have it open, say, a specific size or percentage of original. Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible to open it at a specific percentage or in fit view mode. You set the document's Open action with a Goto action that targets the page you want to display. When you set the target page you also have the option to set the desired zoom or a Fit mode.
It would be nice if there was a right-mouse-click menu on the edit panel to change the font size, but there isn't.
Is there a system setting somewhere else that lets me increase the default font size?
Office Button > Access Options > Object Designers > Query design > Query design font
Quick note, be sure to restart Access to allow the updates to take effect.
