Auto-Open Zoom Box with One Click in MS Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I will show you how to open the Zoom Box with a single click on a designated field using just one line of VBA code, and how to add a Zoom button that works on any field by setting focus to the last active control. We will cover using the On Click event for fields and buttons, discuss the SetFocus and Screen.PreviousControl methods, and address some common usability tips for working with Zoom in Access forms.
