Search the Access help files or the forum for the StartUp options.

Open Switchboard

Open Switchboard inn edit mode
Click on VB icon

Look for :-

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Minimize the database window and initialize the form.
DoCmd.Maximize
' Move to the switchboard page that is marked as the default.
Me.Filter = "[ItemNumber] = 0 AND [Argument] = 'Default' "
Me.FilterOn = True

End Sub

You only have to enter "DoCmd.Maximize"

racdata, I think the question was how to get the switchboard to open on startup, not how to open the switchboard maximized.

Go to Tools/Startup to see the options that can be set for startup.
