Can I replicate minimise/maximise after removing main menu? 3

[Stevehewitt]

Hey people.

I have a custom menu that user have when they use my database. The problem is that when users run reports and maximise them they cannot minimise again as that "button" is only on the default Access main menu which I have removed from view.

Any ideas on how to replicate this?

Cheers,

Simple: Create custom menu buttons and run DoCmd.Maximize or DoCmd.Restore from them. Or am I missing something?

Stevehewitt,

As a matter of course I place the following code behind all my reports:

Private Sub Report_Close()
DoCmd.Restore
End Sub

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

So the user doesn't need to maximize them selves, and however the Report is closed, the retore command is executed.

Hey,

Thanks very much. I suppose I could use the DoCmd function - didn't think of that!

Logicalman - thank you. I don't really need the code for this problem, but I do for something else so a star for you too!

Cheers,

Steve.
