form's jumping around (?)

[markjkubicki]

I've got a form that I open acNormal. On accasion, in the course of working on the form... it repaints, intentianally closes and re-opens, <etc.>, nothing unusual ...


The problem is that sometimes it is opening maximized, sometimes not, it sort of jumps about (not much, just enough to be naticable, and to be annoying).

I've checked the code, and every time I call an open form event for this form, it is acNormal; I just don't know where else to look.

Any suggesntions will be greatly appreciated in advance,
mark

Not really following your scenario, but a Form will open Maximized when the previously opened Form is Maximized.

[markjkubicki]

do you mean to say that when this specific form was last opened, or are you referring to the state of the last formed open before this one (whatever form that might be, quite possibly a different form than the one is discussion)?

[Missinglinq]

Yes, the state of the last Form opened before the problematic one. In the Form_Load event of the problem Form you could use this code:

DoCmd.Restore

that will tell the problem Form to go back to size it was developed at. The caveat, though, is that any previously opened Forms that are still open will also revert to their designed size...even if they were opened Maximized!
