Start Up Form needs to open up maximised

[Guest]

Hi

I have the switchboard form opening up by default by going through the Tools
/ Start Up menu - though it always opens minimised, forcing the agents to
manually maximise the screen each morning. How do I get it to open up
maximised by default?

Thanks in advance

Add:
DoCmd.Maximize
to the Load event of the form.

Thanks for being so prompt Allen - ummm - how do I find the "Load event of
the form" [New User I'm afraid]

Open the form in Design mode, and look at its Properties window (you can
toggle the window on and off under the View menu). Look on the Event tab:
one of the entries will be "On Load". If it's blank beside that, put [Event
Procedure] (with the square brackets) in there. Click on the ellipses (...)
to the right, and that will take you to the event code. If you added the
event code, all you should see is:

Private Sub Form_Load()

End Sub

Put the line of code Allen suggest into that:

Private Sub Form_Load()

DoCmd.Maximize

End Sub

Hi,

I have a similar problem however it is with Access itself rather than the
forms inside my database. The database border is only open 50% with a
maximised screen inside. Is there any way in which I can get access to open
fully so it covers the whole of the screen and not just half of it?
