What i'm doing is navigating from a main menu screen to a data entry form, and then using a button to return back to the main menu. But when I do this the form "scales down" in size.

I've set the properties so that the desired forms maximise on opening which they do the first time. However when I return to the previous form (using menu button) they are not maximised anymore.

Can anyone help me please??

I've been wanting to make my "switchboard" form maximize upon opening the database. How did you get your form to maximize upon opening? What properties do you set?

Try putting a DoCmd.Maximize in your form OnActivate event procedure, instead of your OnOpen event procedure.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot Peter, much appreciated.

Summer, you just need to create a macro with the command "maximise" then link this to the OnActivate property as Peter says.

Thanks Antonio and Peter!
