Quick Question

Where is the Maximise function?

I have a startup form and want it to fill the screen when it opens. I know that all I need to do is set it to maximise but I cant see that in properties!??

HI LYNSEY!

In the form's load event add this code:

docmd.maximize

Good Luck

and thats all I have to say bout' that!

 

[lynsey2]

thanks in other words
i knew it was there just couldnt see how to do it.
TA!

 

[lynsey2]

em...
well it kinda does what i thought it would do...

i want it and all subsequent forms to fill the screen even if i open/close them the one behind is still full size! I was under the impression that that was what was supposed to happen with the docmd.maximize
When you maximize a window, all other windows are also maximized when you open them or switch to them. However, pop-up forms aren't maximized. If you want a form to maintain its size when other windows are maximized, set its PopUp property to Yes.
but what do you do if you want them all to be and stay maximized and what happens when you go back to the previous form

ieye

 

[lynsey2]

how u?

in fact i just went into my close buttons (they all actually open the startup form) and did DoCmd.Maximize.

stDocName = "Splash"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.Maximize

Exit_CloseARTScript_Click:

that seems to have done the trick...

I dont have tooth ache anymore YEY!............still as daft unfortunatly
