Make Form Full Screen

[Guest]

Hi

Quite a simple one that I'm stuck on. How do i make a form in Microsoft
Access 2007 full screen so the user can only see the input form i have
created for them?

Thanks

Adam,
If you have an icon on your desktop that opens 2007... and particular
database... you can set the RUN properties of that icon to...
Maximized
Or...
You can create a macro in your databae, named "Autoexec", that contains a
"Maximize" command. An Macro named Autroexec will always run when a
database is first opened.
I didn't test in 2007, but I would expect that those two methods haven't
changed from previous versions.

So your saying there is no inbuilt way of making a Form full screen (as in no
tool bar at the top etc)?

Thanks

Adam:

It is possible (or at least it was in earlier versions; I can't be sure for
Access 2007 as I don't use it) by setting the form's Modal and Popup
properties both to True (Yes in the properties sheet) and maximizing it by
putting DoCmd.Maximize in its Open event procedure. Provided the user
doesn't need to see any other objects but the form while its open this is
OK, but it's very limiting otherwise as any objects opened from the form will
be hidden behind it and unavailable to the user. Also you'd need to include
your own navigational controls on the form as the navigation bar would not be
visible.

What Ken suggested works in 2003 (cool, I didn't know that could be done).
Are you using the Startup features to provide PGS?
