Force a Form to open in Full Screen

[WantoN]

As title really,
I have a form called Contact Lookup, and I'd like it to oen on startup in fullscreen view, I'd also like to set the title to a different caption, and disallow user access to any other form functions.

Cheers guys,
Antoni

[tt]docmd.maximize
me.caption = "some other caption"[/tt]

in the form open event, though caption is perhaps easier set in the properties dialogue.

"disallow user access to any other form functions." - oh dear, you're sure you really need opening it ;-)

See if turning some of the properties in the data tab of the form suffices (AllowAdditions, AllowEdits, AllowDeletions...)

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    DoCmd.Maximize
    Me.Caption = "My New Caption"
End Sub

However if you set
Modal=Yes
PopUp=Yes
BorderStyle=Dialog
then it will open to the full screen something like screen lock. Prior to check this you need to put a close button on the form to save yourself from the trap.
