Opening Forms in a Window

[Bob Thomson]

On opening my database the Main Switchboard refuses to open up in a window in the centre of the screen. Additionally all other forms from the switchboard perform in exactly the same way. I have set the autoresize property to 'No' and the autocentre property to 'Yes' but still no joy. I am using Access 2000. Anyone with any ideas, PLEASE?

Sounds like you may have a DoCmd.Maximize in there somewhere.

Send me a sample and I will have a look.

Try setting autoresize = yes, autocenter = yes, then put a Docmd.Restore in your form OnActivate event procedure.

Hope this helps,

Cheers Guys,

Yep! I do have a Do.Cmd Maximise in the script but when I remove it all sorts of other weird things happen.

I have tried to adapt the forms from the sample databases and maybe this wasn't a good idea.

What do you think?
