Thanks Linq. The DoCmd.MoveSize deal was right on time. The only side note is that everything is measured in twips. I found a good instant twip calcuatlor here. It converts between twips and pixels, but you may need to adjust your screen resolution in some cases because 1 pixel isn't always the same size on a given screen because of the display resolution set by your operating system.
Thanks again!...

Setting the _x & _y position of a form
I'm using a pop up form that I want to appear in the upper left corner of the screen everytime it comes up. (x position = 0 and y position = 0) I see an auto center option in Form Properities, but I don't see where I can make the default position 0,0. I would like to do this programmaticall y if possible.
Basic solution: I know I could probably drag the form to where I need (after taking it out of chromeless mode), hitting Ctrl + S,... -
Restoring Access eventually
Okay, the coding above worked fantastically; thanks, MGrowneyARSI!
The only thing is that when it comes to getting Access to actually appear again, it looks like Access becomes unstable. I'm unable to maximize it ever again, and I've had to close the process down (End Task) in Windows Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del). (I've confirmed that both Pop Up and Modal are set to Yes.)

Thanks you guys! I believe, however, if you set the MS Access application window to minimize, it will also minimize all forms. In modal mode, this may not be the case, as I haven't tried to minimize Access programatically yet. I just had the form window set to pop up and manually minimized Access. When I did, the form disappeared as well. When I restored Access, the form reappeared in the same position.
I'll have to try out the code...Leave a comment:

Chromless forms
In Access, I learned how to create forms without borders by removing the caption altogehter and setting Border Style to "None" for the form.
However, I'd like to know if there's a way to make a blank background, or a background with a bitmap (JPEG or BMP). I do NOT want:- the database window, toolbars, menu bar
- standard toolbars (application object in VBA?)
- menu bar (application object in VBA)

It sounds like you're trying to make a Kiosk and software like Provisio SiteKiosk could do this at an affordable price. Just a thought; it worked for one of my clients....Leave a comment:
