    Question Form size variance


    I am sure this is a simple fix....at least I am hoping...but I cannot seem to conquor it! I have a "Main Menu" form that has a DoCmd.Maximize when it opens. I have a button on that form that opens a subsequent form (We'll call it Form1). I want Form1 to open as a dialog box. I also want my Main Menu form to stay maximized when Form1 closes. This is driving me mad!

    Make your form normal and invisible before opening the next form with the acDialog argument. Then Maximize it again when the code returns. As you have discovered, MAXIMIZE is global and affects all subsequent forms.
