Form Sizing Issues

[UberZoot]

Ladies and Gents,
I have a Main Menu form that I use a Maximize macro "On Open" that I have keyed in my Start-Upo properties. When I select one of the command buttons from this form to open another form, the menu sizes down to a window mode. I want it to stay max at all times.

Also-
I have a form called from a command button on the menu form that I want to keep small. However, when I open the dbase for the first tim and select that command, the form appears in a max mode.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,
UZ

I had a related problem. I wanted my main form to be maximized and the subforms smaller. I posted to this group and someone suggested using the acDialog setting with the code to open the second form. Worked like a charm.

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Form1"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, , acDialog

The other question - make it maximize - use DoCmd.Maximize in the form open event.
