Automatically Maximise a Form 4

[Aiii]

Hey,

I have a form that automatically starts up when the database starts up.

Now when the form is shown at startup it is not maximised and i find it really annoying to constantly keep maximising it.

I know this isn't a big problem, but if i can fix it then all the better.

Thanks

Put the following code in the forms OnOpen event procedure:

DoCmd.Maximize

This will maximize the form when for the form opens.

Hi,
Ther are two ways to maximize the form automatically when opening.
Both the codes are written in "OnOpen" property of the form.

1. DoCmd.Maximize
This code has a drawback. This will maximize all the forms and Databse window resizing all the forms. If any of your forms are small in size(ie. you don't want them run on maximized window) this code is not good. This is good when all the forms are need to be run on Maximized window.

2.DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize
This will Maximize the Databse window not all the forms and reports.
Test both.
Choice is yours.

I have a similar problem, but slightly different.
I open my splash screen minimized. There is a button on the splash that I use to open two screens at once: the Main SwitchBoard that I want to open Maximized, and a Daily ToDo screen that I want to open on top of the Switchboard, Minimized and centered(with the edges and header otf the Switchboard showing beneth the ToDo list) The user checks daily assignments on the ToDo screens and then closes it to then show the full SwitchBoard which was under it . Hope the makes sense.

Problem is, I have a hard time getting the Switchboard to open Maximized under the Minimized ToDo list.

Any thots on how to do this?

Thanks

Hi,JDTTEK
Try your "Todo" Form with the following settings
OnOpen Event =
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize

BorderStyle = Dialog
AutoCenter = Yes
PopUp = Yes
Modal = Yes
Hope this will help
