Maximize forms (1 Viewer)

[ayeshamiah]

Help, I'm losing it

all I want to do is maximze all my forms at the request of the client from hell

Naively I thought all i needed to do was

docmd.openform blah blah
docmd.maximize
but Oh no that does not appear to gurantee success

I have made all the forms popup poperty set to yes and made sure that I all the forms maximzed.

Some of the forms are working no problem,
some are half full screen by that I mean you can still see the windows taskbar at the bottom.

I'm using Access97 please help, Ayesha

The windows task bar is always on top so your forms can not cover it. Make sure that the task bar is set to Auto hide so that it will not be visible unless the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen...

HTH,
Jack

first question is why all pop-up?
This may be yr problem - try normal view maximize
Popups are to remain on top of all. Modal or not.

I assume the pop up is set because that's exactly what you want it to do. You haven't got auto-resize set to yes have you?

Jack you are wrong and richie is that a tested answer or a wild guess.
