I have a form that is set with modal=yes, popup=yes, docmd.maximise when it loads, but its like watching a pig trying to fly when its opened from the desktop. First the Access logo flashes up, then the Access Forms/Tables/Reports dialogue section appears with toolbars at the top of the page, and then my mainform appears almost sideways (little exageration) until its in position. Looks very naff, any ideas, thanks
