Maximise problem

[jax]

I have a main form which maximises on opening. The main form has a command button which opens a password form in 'restore' size. On entering the correct password another form opens. This all works perfectly.

The problem I have is that when the password entry form opens the main form underneath does not stay maximised. Does anyone know how I can view the password form restored and the main form underneath stays maximised? I have tried several options but nothing seems to work. The simple ones are always the most annoying :-(

Thanks for any help

Is your password for a popup form? If not, set it's pop-up property to YES and try that....

Its not the passworded form that I am having the problem with. I want the original main form to stay maximized in the background while the user enters the password into a password form (password form opens on click of a command button on the main form.) I hope that makes sense!

Okay, you've found out the fact that Maximized and Restore deals with EVERY form/report/database window in the database.

So, you have to choose. My favorite option is to not show the Db window, size the main form only to the size I need and then NOT maximize. Then my other forms that open temporarily on top will open correctly. If I open reports, I usually have code in the ON OPEN event to maximize and On Close to restore so the forms still look like they're supposed to.

Good luck.
