I have a form that is set to open upon the opening of the database as my startup screen. How do I make it so the form is the full screen. Nobody will need to see the database behind the startup form so they don't need to see the command bars. Thanks, Jim

The way I like to do this is to make a macro for the event.

Build a macro and name it Autoexec. In it you can put in an OpenForm command, and then a Maximize command.

When you open the database, Access will read the Autoexec file and run it.

Hope it helps,

Peter Paul

click on the code button in order to see the code behind the form and use this code (just copy and paste).

Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

this should do the trick.

If you want your database to cover the complete screen, you should also include a hide toolbar in with your autoexec command
