Open the form in design mode.
Click the "Code" toolbar button on form design toolbar.
Look for the FORM object in the list of object on the left side.

Then look for the OPEN event guy on the right side. Insert this line of code in the ON OPEN event:

DoCmd.Maximize

However, you have to remember that ALL forms will then open maximized - this is a 'sticky' option (not a good thing, in my mind but who knows what the folks in Redmond will think of next...)
