maximized view only

[bluwind]

Hi all anyone able to tell me how to make main access form a maximized only view.. of course the ability to shrink but no resize allowed.

You can put the command

DoCmd.Maximize (I think that's right)

in the load event of your form, then every time you open the form it will be maximized.

The problem i have got is that it is not the form window i want maximized, its the access window.

The code for that is

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize

 

[David Eagar]

Create a macro, command=maximize, save as autoexec

Sorry David, but that is only good for the forms or reports, not the Access Window. The command I shared is the VBA code, but using Macros you select the Action = RunCommand and in the Arguments you select AppMaximize.

Bob:

I have used every version of Access since 2.0
In every database, I have always created a Macro called Autoexec using the wizard and the first line set to Maximize. It has always opened the Access window in full screen.
The next line is usually set to Open Form - Menu or Switchboard

Note: have not used '07 yet.
