How do I hide the restore button on a form. I have taken off everything else (min/max buttons, toolbar, etc.) but cannot find a way to get the restore icon off.

In the Form's properties list, look for "Min Max Buttons" and set it to NONE.

If I may once again resurrect an old thread... I too have this problem. Setting the min max buttons to none in the properties doesn't remove the restore button for me. When a user clicks on this it exposes the database window in the background. Which I would prefer to keep out of site. Is there any other solution to remove this button?
Thanks

Do not maximize your form.

I never dreamed the answer was so easy. Thanks. I want the form to appear maximized and fill the screen so I guess I need to do that through code.

Is there an easy way to remove the Access application min/max buttons? I assume it's some kind of api thing...?

easy and api usually don't go together. ;)

This doesn't remove them, but disables them from being used.
