Tip of the Week
Here's a Microsoft® Access® tip to help developers like yourself create better Access applications. This page will change weekly, so check back for more useful code.
Zoom Box: Open the Access-supplied Zoom Box from the OnDblClick event procedure of your text box controls! Copy and paste the following function into a new module:
Function ZoomCtl()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
Now put the following function call in your text box or combo box OnDoubleClick event property:=ZoomCtl() So now when a user double-clicks on your text or combo box the Access-supplied Zoom Box pops up and magnifies the text, or shows more than can be displayed in the control.
