How to Maximize form and hide navigation pane ,menu when opened

[stalk]

I tried to use the following code but it's not maximizing.

Private sub form_load()
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

what changes can I make?

Thank you

I just copied your code to a test dB - worked without error. Are you getting any error messages?
Have you done a Compact & Repair?

The code will maximise the form but has no effect on the navigation pane.
The code required to hide the navigation pane is

    
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"    
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide

I have an example app which shows how to control all application features including managing the nav pane, ribbon, taskbar and even hiding the application interface completely.
