Openning Access at control panes

[Mary Hartman]

Good morning,

I've looked everywhere, but I can't seem to find the instructions for
making Access startup showing the control panel form and to get it to
open in full screen view.

Could someone help with this?

Thank you

'Control Panel' is a Windows OS thing. I figure you're using the incorrect
term. Do you mean your switchboard, or menu (that your created)?

Your can set you db start and open a default form by simply setting the form
in the startup properties.

Tools-Startup...
Set the 'Display Form/Page' combo box the form you wish to load by default.

As for setting it to open maximized, create a onopen event for the form in
question and enter

DoCmd.Maximize

Thank you.

I did use the wrong term. I meant "Switchboard" which I name
"Controls."

Probably not a good practice.
