Maximising Forms

[wildexodus]

Is there any other way other than using a macro on open, to have a form automatically maximised?

 

[Mile-O]

In code, on the form's OnOpen event you can just put:

DoCmd.Maximise

 

[wildexodus]

It works on a plain form but when i try to put it on mine with other macros on it doesnt work. It says something about an ambiguous macro name.

Mile-O-Phile meant put it in an event procedure, not a macro

 

[wildexodus]

i know i guessed that.

Mile, isn't it Docmd.maximize ?
You wrote it with an s

 

[Rich]

Mile, isn't it Docmd.maximize ?
You wrote it with an s

Some members refuse to be ized

That's becauz they are za best (Frenchy pronunciation )

But, in order to take advantages of your sunday activity(if it's sunday too where you are), which would be the opposite of opening a form? Docmd.close?

Docmd.close?

Yes but be careful it will close the form that has the focus. could be beter to refer to the specific form that you want to close.
