Hi,

My db is complete and have selected a form to open on startup(switchboard). For some reason, it doesn't open to full view on the screen...Where can I change this view problem???

Thank you
 
Hi,

Go into design view of your switchboard, and go to properties of the form. On the OnOpen event, click the button with 3 dots to go to VBA. You then need to type in DoCmd.Maximize at the start of the OnOpen event, something like this:

Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Minimize the database window, initialize and maximise the form.
DoCmd.Maximize

    ' Move to the switchboard page that is marked as the default.
    Me.Filter = "[ItemNumber] = 0 AND [Argument] = 'Default' "
    Me.FilterOn = True
    
End Sub

I just made the switchboard from scratch so thats why there is nothing in it!!

Hope this works for you,

Andrew
