maximize window

[BBran]

Hello,

I am using Access 2007 B2TR. Can anyone tell me how I might have Access automatically maximize a form or query or report, whenever I open one?

BBran,
I don't use 2007, but it "should" be the same through all Access versions...
Use the OnOpen event of the form...
DoCmd.Maximize

I could do that, if it works in 2007, as you say, but I am wondering if there is a way to have it do so for all so that I don't have to set it individually for each. In Access 2000 I simply made a macro named "AutoExec" with the "Maximize" action in it. For some reason that does not work in 2007.

Any further ideas?

Don't know about AAC2007, but in all previous versions I've used one of the
gripes was that if the first form to open was maximized, all subsequent forms
that opened (unless they're Dialog forms) would be maximized! You might try
maximizing your opening/splash screen and see what happens.

 

[BBran]

Well I guess it is good that we are all a bit different. Your gripe is my desire!?

Unfortunately, though the splash screen is maximized on starting Access, none of the other openings are maximized, unless I first maximize one of them.

Still looking for a fix!?

BBran,
OK, that's the way I've always done it for all forms.
Not sure why autoexec won't work in 2007 as it always has in other versions.

I would think that if you place a Maximize in the OnOpen event of the first form to
open... say a Main Menu form..., then that should act just like the old autoexec macro for
all other forms that follow. Once Maximized, it should stay that way for all other forms.

Odd though... I searched the Google Access groups under "2007" "autoexec", and I can't
find any posts indicating a problem with running autoexec in 2007.

Try a brand new post on just that subject... there may be some 2007 options I'm not
familiar with that may be bypassing/defeating the autoexec.

I'll try both suggestions. Thanks for your help.
