Hi can somebody help me to make the main form view as full screen and when i mean full screen its full screen. you will not even see the windows taskbar just the main form. I remember doing this with a macro code but has forgot it already thanx
 
On the OnOpen of the form you can just add a
Docmd.Maximize and it should make the form full screen for you.

HTH,

Steve
 
thanx but this command only maximizes upto the screen where the access window is. What i want is that it will be full screen beyond the access window. On the monitor the only form you will see is that of the main form.
 
Hi,
Set the following properties of the form to yes
Properties > Other >

Modal = Yes
PopUp = Yes

And as SteveR77 wrote put
Docmd.Maximaize on open event of the form.
Remember to put a Form Close button, otherwise you have to use Task Manager to close the application.

Hi,
Just setting the Popup property will do what you want.

Setting the modal property will result in the Main Form always having focus while open, which can end up being quite annoying.
