I have designed an Access 2016 form with an embedded subform.
When displaying my (main) form (shown in 1st picture), I notice a space below the sub-form and above the "Form footer" that I cannot see in design mode (see 2nd picture).
I have no clue how I could get rid of this unncessary space. Can someone help me out to find out what I have missed in the design of my userform ?
Many thanks in advance.
The simplest way would be to move the buttons from the form footer to the bottom of the detail section.
Then get rid of header & footer, and set the form to Auto Resize = Yes.
If you don't want to do this, you must set and save the display size (height) of the popup form in design view.
You can't do this with tabbed documents, you need to switch to overlapping windows:

(and then open the form non-maximized in design view.)
It may take a bit of trial & error to get the height exactly right in design view.

I have created a large Access Form that spans the form header, all of the detail section 22" and form footer. When viewing the form it will not allow scrolling.
I have copied elements into a fresh database and a new form with the same results. I can send a zip file with this single form to anyone interested in helping.
Ensure that you have the Scroll Bars property set to Both or Vertical Only in the Form Properties:
Seems I figured it out. My Form Header Section was too long. Seems once it gets past 10" it disables the scroll bar on my screen as I was trying to use it improperly to extend the length of my form which is limited to just the 22" . Makes sense that the Header section is not designed to be scrolled, but I had some large images with text boxes between them. Just met a limit of Access
I am thinking to implement a custom tabbed page with some custom functionality and I thought about using MultiPage.
I am thinking about that because it seems to be the base class of the Forms's TabTabbedPage and would like to actually have a page at the bottom to display the buttons and the top space to display come content pages based on the selection(of the user).
Currently I only added 2 pages on the MultiPage and the last page from the data set is being displayed but I can't shrink its height so that I can add another content page below to add the buttons. I tried to set the HeightRequest on the pages but with no effect.
Does anyone have at hand some samples involving the MultiPage or knows how to change the ContentPage width or height?
Thanks a lot!
I'm working on a form for an Access database I'm putting together. In the Design View I've gotten the area covered with grid to be the right size for the form. When I go to Form View though, there's a ton of empty space on the right & bottom. How do I remove that empty space?
Here's what the form looks like in Design View for context:
Answering Andre's questions:
Popup? Currently yes, but I'm not dead set on that. It's also Modal for what that's worth.
Maximized? No, when I go to Form view it's got at least a couple inches from where the grid space stops in my screenshot though.
Tabbed or Seperate? Not sure I follow. If you're meaning is the Form opened on a tab in the Access main pane or in a seperate window it's seperate.
If it's a separate window (popup or not-maximized), then setting the Form.AutoResize property to Yes should do it.
For some more info ("tabbed document windows" is an option for the current DB), see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34321906/3820271
I'm using iReport Designer 5.6.0.
I find that working with iReport and JasperReports is one of the skills that I learn and then quickly forget.
I have a subreport that shows three different "view" of the same piece of data.
Form View
Tabulated (Table) View
Plot (Image) View
Before each of the views I want to have a Title.
Here's a picture:
Jasper is sometimes putting page breaks between the title and its view.
Whats the best way to make JasperReports keep the title on the same page as the thing is titling?
The very fact that I'm calling my text boxes "titles" makes me think each view needs to be its own subreport.
Would that solve the problem?
Is there a "keep with next" box I need to check somewhere?
Here's what you should be doing.
Take a sub report for every view desired(this would simplify the design).
Put your title and the desired view with data in the same band (this would force title to stick to the view) in sub report.
Hope it helps.
Maybe you can put them in its own group and check the box "Keep Together"
I have PDF template with a large text-box. Based on the size of the content, the textbox comes-up with a vertical scroll bar. But issue comes up when I flatten the PDF using PDFStamper, the text box does not have the scroll bar and user see only half of the content.
Is there way to allow scroll bar in the text box after flatten the pdf?
Please note that while designing the textbox in the template we have enabled scroll bar option.
No. Flattening a PDF effectively disables interactivity. What your printer kicks out is what you see on screen. One work around is to drop the font size on the field for long items. Another option is to make the PDF read-only instead flattening it. See this post from the office iText mailing list for more.
