Size of Form Microscopic

Post by sobershea »

I created a non VBA form. When I try to use the form it is very tiny. Is there a way to resize it? I can't select it to get access to the resizing options.

Thank much.

What do you mean by a "non VBA form"?
Best wishes,

I know you can create forms in VBA. But you can also add the form icon to the menu. A friend created a form that way; she doesn't know VBA. But when the form opens (populated properly) it is very small. So I am trying to figure out what she did and more importantly how to make the form bigger.

I'm afraid that the Data Form cannot be customized in any way. The only way to enlarge it would be to increase the size of text, apps and other items throughout Windows. For example in Windows 11:

To display the Data Form, you have to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)
Click the drop-down arrow on the right-hand side of the QAT.
Select More Commands...
Select 'Commands Not in the Ribbon' from the 'Choose commands from' drop-down.
Scroll down the list of commands until you see Form...
Select it, then click Add >>.
Finally click OK.

You should now have a new Form button on the QAT.

The fact that the form opens fine on my PC verifies what you said. She must have some setting on her PC that is causing it. I will ask her to increase size through Windows.
Thank you Hans. Again. :cheers:
