I'm not sure if this is possibe but what I would like to do with a form is have it fill up the entire screen including the access title bar.

Is this possible?

It is said that God will give you no more than you can handle. I just wish God didn't have so much faith in me.
 

If you're saying that you want it to cover the entire screen, covering the Access window and taskbar at the bottom, so that in essence it looks like a full screen Visual Basic app, the only reliable way I've found (and I do this on most of my apps) is to simply size and re-size the form until you get it where you want it. Note that to be sure where it'll appear on the screen, you'll have to open the form by clicking on its name in the Objects dialog box; starting it from Design View doesn't always position it correctly. What I did was to create a new, essentially blank form, and once I had the size and positioning I wanted, I saved the form in a utility db I have. Anytime I need a new form, I import a copy of it and use it as a starting point.
