Maximize

[Guest]

I have got a database which has a mian page which then can open up three
forms which have been done with command buttons. Everytime i go into the
database my main form is not big enough i always have to maximize it. Is
there anyway that i could run a macro in the back ground so everytime i open
up the main page it is the size of the screen not a small page as it is quite
annoying to do this everytime.
Thanks

Helen,

You can use a Maximize action in a macro, and assign it on the On Open
event property of the main form. You will probably want to put a
Restore action on the Close event as well, depending on how the other
forms interact with each other.

An alternative is to set the form to the size you want in design view
and then save it. Also, check what happens if you set the form's Auto
Resize property to Yes.
