form header and body disappear
i have a form that i modified by changing the header and footer from
visible=no to yes. when i changed the header, the form worked fine. i moved controls into the header and everything was great. when i changed the footer to be visible, every time i open the form, all i see is the footer. the header and detail section aren't visible and i have no scroll bars. any guesses? -- Greg Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/200702/1 |

You will get this situation if the footer section is larger than the window
in which the form is displaying; there will not be any scrollbar if you have the form's scrollbar property set to Neither or Horizontal Only. Open the form in design mode, scroll to the bottom of the form, and move the lower boundary of the footer section up to a suitable spot.

Rob,
this did help the situation but raises a couple of questions. i can't make my footer small enough to fit on-screen at one time. i have a number of controls there, a summary page for the form (which is a 3-page detail section, separated by 2 page breaks). the detail section is 21.25" itself. i would have put the summary in there but there's apparently a maximum length that i've exceeded. what i've done is to set the on-open event to movesize the form and then restore it. it's ugly with 2 scroll bars on-screen but it works. the thing is, i don't need to have the header OR footer visible at all times as the form is scrolled, so i'm wondering if there's another way? i originally had everything on the detail section (lots of fields per record in this table), but couldn't for the size reason i mentioned earlier. any ideas?

If you want to avoid having a very large detail section, you could use a tab
control to separate your data display into individual "pages". You could then also put your summary data onto a separate tab page, rather than in the form footer. I don't ever use page breaks on a form - I don't think they're very user-friendly. And I don't think that a form which is nearly 22" long (even with page breaks) is very user-friendly either.
