Form is not maximized during startup

Need help. I have a form that does not open in form view,
in a maximized format. Any suggestions are welcome.

To make the form open immediately on startup - in form view - go to:

Tools/Startup.../select the form from Display Form/Page

Make an autoexec macro that runs the action MAXIMIZE. If your MS Access window isn't maximized (depends on the user), you need to use the RunCommand action with the APPMAXIMIZE argument.

---------------------

If you don't want this to be on startup, then do this:
Use the same macro you created, but change the name, perhaps to Form_Maximize. Then, open the form in design view and go into the form properties (CTRL-R, then click on properties) and set your On Open event to the same name as the macro (Form_Maximize).

This way, if you have other forms that you want to open in Form View with Maximize, you can just reuse the same macro.

In the Form_Activate Event, use the statement:

DoCmd.Maximize

to maximize the Form.
