maximizing form

[Guest]

I have a form that is designed as a dialog box. When it's executed from a
maximized form it will load as maximized, too. However, when it's executed
from a restored down form it loads restored down.

Loading maximized is annoying. How can I set it up to load restored down
regardless of the parent form's size?

Thanks!

Are you opening it from the parent form in Dialog.

DoCmd.OpenForm "FormName", , , , , acDialog

Thanks, Fred. The dialog box is opened from a parent form which has an on
open event:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize

End Sub

Is this causing the problem?

If you set the form's PopUp property to Yes, it will stay in restored
state even when other forms are maximized.
