Access Navigation Pane too narrow
Have a look at my article: https://www.isladogs.co.uk/fix-shrunken-nav-pane/index.html
It sounds like you've tried at least one suggestion on that page but not this one:
Public Function MaximizeNavigationPane()
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"
DoCmd.Maximize
End Function

Hope that helps
Thanks for the guidance. Unfortunately, I ran the code, but it had no effect on size of pane. Ran the code with DoCmd.minimize and that did shrink the pane. Ran again with Maximize and got same result as shown in my screenshot. It appears for some reason, Access thinks what I have IS maximized!
Deleted - duplicate post
OK. In that case, have you tried just dragging the nav pane to the width you require by grabbing the right hand edge with the mouse and moving it to the right with the left mouse button held down

isladogs Sadly this too has been tried many times with no success. I don't have this problem on my new tower PC, only my laptop, both Win 11.
Even Microsoft gave up! An email simply states they are sorry they cannot help me with my issue. Not impressed with MS Tech support....
