Switchboard and all forms always maximized ??

[vangogh228]

I have been looking for a way to make all my forms, including my switchboard, to open maximized by default and stay maximized. I cannot find a form property for this feature and cannot find any help in the books I have. Help? Thanks to all!!

Put a macro in the Open event of each of your forms. The only action in the Macro is Maximize. In the switchboard put this macro in the Current and Load events as well as the Open event.

Thanks pbuethe!!

Now, here's a stupid question: How do I get to the form properties? I have right-clicked EVERYWHERE and tried to go to properties on the forms panel of the database window. I can get to the properties of all my controls and the background, etc, but not the to FORM properties. Help??

Close the form then Open it in design view then select view then properties.Dont touch any control before you select properties.

Or, you can click in the little box to the left and above the rulers, that'll select the form. Or, click on the dark grey area that doesn't contain anything.

I see!

By double clicking that square, I get the form properties dialog box. THANKS!
