A colleague has created a form and would like to enlarge it so when it prints
it fills a page. I thought you could do something similar as in Excel or
Word where you can select that it fits on one page or you could use the zoom
feature.

Click to expand...

1) Access does not have this feature.

2) You should not be printing your form anyway.
Forms are for data entry and data manipulation.
Reports are for printing.

3) Create a report showing whatever data you want.
Size it as needed. Print that.

4) If you want to show not only the data but the form background as
well, right-click on the form name (on the database folder). Select
"Save as Report". Open this report in design view. Size it as wanted.
Print it.
 
You don't forms, you print reports.

Reports have the various controls you need to better format the output.

There is no optin though (as far as I know) to have it fit to a page.
