Resizing forms

In several cases I have a form which opens maximized. On this form is a
command button which opens a second form. I want the second form to open to a
specific size, not maximized. Once the second form has been opened and closed
it will open at the resized settings.

I have tried using an event procedure with the DoCmd.Movesize and setting
the size I want but the form will initially open maximized. I've also tried a
macro with the MoveSize command with the same result. Varying the Auto Center
and Auto Resize properties on the form have no effect. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Thanks, Keith
 
KP,
Go into design mode for the 2nd form, and make it a PopUp=Yes. That will allow you to
make form2 any size, but not affect the other maximized forms.
 
Al,
Thanks for the quick reply and info. I knew it should be an easy one but
overlooked it. With my simple mind though, I don't understand why you have to
even make it
a PopUp, but I'll live with it.
Keith
