Automatically opening a form

[Guest]

When you have a form automatically opening when you start up a database. Is
there a way to have the form take up the whole screen? Thanks.

I'm sure there are many ways of doing this, but heres the way i did it:

Create a macro with a "Maximise" Entry in it.

Then in the 'on open' property of the form select the name of this macro.

If you want any forms opened after this form not to be maximised you would
need to create a "Minimise" macro in the same way an select that in the forms
'on close' event

the macro need to be written as autoexec

If the forms opens automatically when the database is loaded, then you will
need to add the following line of code to the "ON LOAD " event of the form

DoCmd.Maximize
