Splitting the Screen

If you're lucky enough to have a large screen, you can track your code and watch its results in your Access database at the same time. How? Split the screen between the VBA IDE and the Access container window.

First, open the VBA IDE, restore it, and then size it the way you want. You might start with about half the screen. Minimize that window when you're done. Next, display the Access container window. Restore it and size it to approximately half the screen. At this point, click the IDE icon on the taskbar. You may have to resize and position the windows a bit to arrange them just the way you want them. The result you're looking for is two windows, one on top the other (or side by side). That way, when you run your code, you can see its effects on your database.
