Keeping a form maximized (Access 2000)

A

Alan

I have a form (frmFind) that I would like to keep maximized. In the
form load event I have a docmd.maximize which works fine. However
the user may go to the database window (or any other Access window)
and restore ('unmaximize') the window.

I would like frmFind to be remaximized when the user clicks on the
form (either directly or via the task bar or Alt-Tab).

I have tried putting the maximize command in the form activate event
but the form just maximizes and then restores. I have tried using
echo off and doevents but still no joy.

I'd prefer not to clear the Windows In Taskbar option.

Any ideas would be *most* gratefully received

TIA
Alan

Thanks Lynn for replying but as I indicated that doesn't seem to work
for me.

I'm still stuck I'm afraid.

No I don't - I just started a brand new form and added Docmd.Maximize
to form activate event - when I open the form it maximizes ok but when
I go to the database window, restore it and go back to the form it
maximizes and then restores.

Well, I'm just as puzzled as you are then. If there isn't some code in
another event, like OnOpen, to restore the form, then I can't tell you,
without seeing the database what the problem might be. Does this happen to
other forms in your database? If you create a new database does it happen to
forms there?
