Can anyone send me a copy of a simple database showing how to maximize a form or forms as soon as they open.
Using my switchboard menu, I would like to have it and all other forms maximize automatically regardless if I return to a previous screen(form).
Someone said to use the =DoCmd.Maximize in the ON OPEN event, so that is exactly what I did to each form. I pasted "=DoCmd.Maximize" in the On Open box from the Form's properties. It works, but with a slight delay showing the form as it goes from default size before the form is maximized. In other words, there is probably a better way of doing this. I would like to do this using a Module to automate the process, but I am not an expert in code. Therefore, I believe with a simple database, I can see HOW to code this procedure. Don't know how something so simple can turn into something so hard.
Thank you to anyone that can help.
