Hi :o
In report design mode you can click on View - Layout Preview
This gives me the desired report appearing maxmised 100% zoom

However when you run the you add a button toa form and either via the wizard or manually you can only open the report in Print Preview mode.
The report then appears in middle of screen @ 75% zoom and not utilising the full screen

example of code on buttonDoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview

how can i make the report utilise the full screen and default to 100% zoom

regards

Not sure which view you prefer but one of these should set you on the right path...

DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReportName", acViewPreview
DoCmd.Maximize
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPreviewOnePage
DoCmd.OpenReport "YourReportName", acViewPreview
DoCmd.Maximize
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoom100
