How can I maximise the Access database window on startup? 1

[sm9]

Hi there,

I can use macros to maximise forms, tables, etc, but I can't figure out how to maximise the Access database window itself. I've got an AutoExec macro that opens the switchboard form on startup, and this form maximises to fit the window. But I'd also like the whole Access window to fit the screen. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help,

Ste

Use a short-cut icon to open the database. Have the properties of the short-cut to Run Maximized.

Thanks Doug, that's just what I needed.

Kind Regards,

An additional option it to include in the autoexec a step to RunCode. Create a function called MaximizeAccess() that looks like this:

Public Function MaximizeAccess()

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize

End Function
