Hi,

Did you put this code in a module? Or simpy in a text box somewhere?

What to do is, go to the Form Properties, and go to the Event Tab. Now, click on the "On Load Box" and then click on the "..." button at the end of it. This will open the forms module, and start an empty procedure for you. It'll look something like this...

Private Sub Form_Load()

End Sub

Now, what you want to do is put some code in there like this...

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Maximise the form
DoCmd.Maximise
End Sub

Now, close the modules, and the form, saving your changes. Hopefully, all being well, when the form is loaded, it will be maximised.

Don't worry about being new to Access, I'm no expert, but I like the way its so easy to craft a User Interface to your own needs, I find it great fun! But once you've solved one problem, theres always another!
