I have one form with many fields .this form is set to maximize on open.now i
have many other command buttons to open other forms i.e.to add new Name or
new country.those forms are small in size.so i want them to open with there
size only not maximized.without affecting my main form.
is this possible.or i have to set the on close property of each of these
forms to maximize.?
 
Dear MH:

In my experience, every window of Access is either maximized or every window
is "normal". You could, however, make the subject form very nearly fill the
screen even though "normalized" and have the other windows be at other,
smaller designed sizes. If the application is to be run on several
computers having different screen resolutions, this is a definite challenge,
and I would be using "screen sizing" algorithms for that. Otherwise, it's
pretty stright forward.

At run time, size an "normalized form" the way you want it and click "save."

mhmaid, it is possible with a main form as maximized. The other forms you
want to have a smaller size will need to have the properties changed. After
you make the form the size you want it, change the following form properties;
Auto Center = yes
Pop Up = yes
Modal = yes
Border Style = Dialog
Need to remember, once you open a small form you will not be able to work on
the maximized form or open any other form until the smaller form you opened
is closed. Hope this helps.
