Report.Scale Method (Access)
The Scale method defines the coordinate system for a Report object.
Syntax
expression .Scale(flags, x1, y1, x2, y2)
expression A variable that represents a Report object.

Integer |
|
x1 |
Required |
Single |
A value for the horizontal coordinate that defines the position of the upper-left corner of the object. |
y1 |
Required |
Single |
A value for the horizontal coordinate that defines the position of the upper-left corner of the object. |
x2 |
Required |
Single |
A value for the horizontal coordinate that defines the position of the lower-right corner of the object. |
y2 |
Required |
Single |
A value for the vertical coordinate that defines the position of the lower-right corner of the object. |
Return Value
Nothing
Remarks
You can use this method only in an event procedure or a macro specified by the OnPrint or OnFormat event property for a report section, or the OnPage event property for a report.
You can use the Scale method to reset the coordinate system to any scale you choose. Using the Scale method with no arguments resets the coordinate system to twips. The Scale method affects the coordinate system for the Print method and the report graphics methods, which include the Circle , Line , and PSet methods.
Example
The following example draws a circle with one scale, then uses the Scale method to change the scale and draw another circle with the new scale.
Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
DrawCircle
End Sub
Sub DrawCircle()
Dim sngHCtr As Single, sngVCtr As Single
Dim sngNewH As Single, sngNewV As Single
Dim sngRadius As Single
Me.ScaleMode = 3 ' Set scale to pixels.
sngHCtr = Me.ScaleWidth / 2 ' Horizontal center.
sngVCtr = Me.ScaleHeight / 2 ' Vertical center.
sngRadius = Me.ScaleHeight / 3 ' Circle radius.
' Draw circle.
Me.Circle (sngHCtr, sngVCtr), sngRadius
' New horizontal scale.
sngNewH = Me.ScaleWidth * 0.9
' New vertical scale.
sngNewV = Me.ScaleHeight * 0.9
' Change to new scale.
Me.Scale(0, 0)-(sngNewH, sngNewV)
' Draw circle.
Me.Circle (sngHCtr + 100, sngVCtr), sngRadius, RGB(0, 256, 0)
End Sub
