Form opens on startup, open it maximized

[Guest]

Okay, I know that by going into Tools: Startup, you can set the form to open
on start up and even block the backend database from opening at all. The
problem I am having is I cannot figure out how to make the form open
maximized. It doesn't seem to be an option. My form keeps opening minimized
causing the user to have the click the maximize box to see it on the full
screen. I want it to automatically open to full screen (maximized) view. I am
using Access 2002. Can this be done?

Hi, Paul.

In the form's On Open event procedure:

DoCmd.Maximize

That's true, but the form can to that int the "On Open" event.

Create an event procedure for the Open event of the form that contains

DoCmd.Maximize

I have the same question, I was able to do too this way, but I was trying to
do it via another approach using a macro. On the 'open' event of this form,
I wrote a single row of 'restore' but it didn't work...any ideas how to make
this work without a VB command
