Maximize a form

[Guest]

Good day,

How do I keep a form in the backgoround maximized when another form is
opened through a command button?

I have a main form called frm_Main and another form called frm_Reasons.

Basically the reasons form is just a bunch of check boxes and the main form
is the information of the complaint.

It looks kinda unperfessional when the main form shrinks back while the
reason form is open. Any Ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I did
try maxmimze on the deactivate event. Did not work.

Open form "frm_Reasons" in design view.
Open properties dialog.
Click on the "Other" tab
Set the "POPUP" property to Yes.

Save the form

If you don't want anyone to change the size of the form, click on the
"Format" tab.
Change the "Border Style". See Help for the different options.
