How do I keep a subform Maximized after exiting

[Guest]

In Access I have created a dbase with a switchbord, Mainform, Subform and
then the entry form.

When exiting the entry form, the subform is no longer Maximized. All forms
are Maximized when opening. When I back to the Mainform it is also still
Maximized.

Please Help.

Dear Mickey:

I'm not sure what it is you mean by Subform. I suspect it is not what I'm
thinking. A subform is a control containing a reference to a form that is
embedded within another form. It is, by itself, neither maximized, nor
normalized. Its state in this respect is the state of the form within which
it is embedded.

Is that what you meant by subform? Or do you mean it is another form, not
as important as your Mainform?

With a few exceptions, such as modal windows, all the windows of an Access
application are maximized or normalized together. Is that where you are
having a problem?

Hey Tom:

Sorry about the new user not up on the correct terminology.

Yes, You are correct.

It is also my understanding Once the Main Switchboard is set to Maximize
that all forms opened off of that switch should be Maximized as well as long
as it is related to the Source?

Problem: Opening forms, OK. Backing out to the mainswitch, Problem. I
have MainSwitch, Another Swithboard, then from there in to Entry Form.

Exit Entry Form (Which is already Maximized) to 2 Swithboard (Not
Maximized), to Main Switch (Maximized). There is the problem. When I exit
why are they not all Uniform?

Let me give you a little History. I am a new employee and have a dbase that
has been designed and updated by as far as I can tell by 3 people.

I have the wonderful task of cleaning up and uniforming things. I am self
taught with minimal school experience.

If you could be specific as to what I should be looking for will help.

Dear Mickey:

If it is the case that you want a certain form to always be seen as
maximized or normalized when it has the focus, you could code that into the
Activate event of the form.

Does that help?
