Access2000 - how do I configure a form so that it always opens fully-maximised?

Hello,
How do I configure a form so that it always opens fully-maximised?



Thank you...

Hi Ally,

The Auto Resize and Fit to Screen form properties both set to Yes should accomplish this.

I use a little code in the form open event

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
   DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

Once the form is maximized, all objects opened will be maximized.
So I use the following code when the form closes:

Private Sub Form_Close()
   DoCmd.Restore
End Sub

Hi Steve! That works a treat. Thank you so much!

Dave,
Many thanks for this suggestion. I can see 'Auto Resize' but not 'fit to screen' anywhere in my form's properties. (Wrong version, perhaps?) Anyway, Steve's coding solution solved it...

Yeah very possible the fit to screen is not in your version or something, I had popped back to the thread yesterday after seeing someone else had responded and figured if you were able to code it that Steve's response would also work. I had initially looked at it from a non-coding aspect as seems at least many of the threads I have viewed since I joined are not the savyist on the coding side.

Just glad you got your issue resolved.
