PRB: Arrange Icons Does Not Work on More Than 40 Windows
'Article ID: Q89546

Creation Date: 24-SEP-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you have more than 40 windows open in Microsoft Access, the Arrange Icons commands on the Windows menu does not work.

CAUSE

The functionality of this command is provided by Microsoft Windows. Windows allocates memory to do the arrange function, but if you have more than 40 windows open, Windows sometimes fails when you try to arrange the icons.

RESOLUTION

Trying the command several times may make it work. If that does not work, close some of your windows and try the command again.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Open and minimize 40 document windows.
 * 2) Move the icons around a bit.
 * 3) From the Windows menu, choose Arrange Icons. Note that the icons are not arranged.
