Opening popup form is full screen

[BarryMK]

I must be missing something simple here.

The opening switchboard of my db is set to popup but on opening the db it is showing full screen. On reopening once closed it pops up. How can I make it popup to start with?

Settings are:
Default View - Single Form
Auto Centre - Yes
Auto Resize - No
Border Style - Dialog

Try the Other tab of the properties sheet.
Pop up - Yes
Modal - Yes

Hi Rural Thanks but no that didn't work. Ive checked this form's properties against another on a different db that works fine and they're identical. I've compacted and that made no difference either. I suspect it's time to transfer the objects to a fresh, empty database and get rid of the development bloat.

Cheers

I have the same problem with my database. It seems as if there is a form already maximized in the background, then the popup appear as full screen.

Anything maximized will maximize everything later on until a restore is issued.

In this case any subsequent forms opened are popup, it's just the first screen that won't perform. Transferring the objects made no difference.

There is a combo selecting all reports using this code:

SELECT [MSysObjects].[Name] FROM MSysObjects WHERE (Left([Name],1)<>"~") And ([MSysObjects].[Type])=-32764 ORDER BY [MSysObjects].[Name];

Maybe that's causing it .

Sorry Barry, I'm out of ideas.

No sweat Rural it isn't a big deal, just irritating. You can't win 'em all.
