Form Open in Maximize

[moi]

Hello all,

My form opens in maximize even there is no maximize command on open/current/load. How to avoid this to happen..

Thank you,

It was probably saved maximized. Open the form in design mode and normalize it, then save it.

Not sure why that would happen.

Have you tried Docmd.Restore it in forms open event

Are using Tabbed Documents rather than Overlapping Windows?

Why not try the no code method first? If you were working on the form maximized in design view, then that is the problem. Fix the actual problem. Don't use code bandaids.

Did you follow the earlier directions to open the form in design view, size it correctly and save it. It should then open to the size it was saved as. Or you can use the size to fit option on the menu and then save and close and reopen.

Hello pat,

Yes i followed, open the form (mainmenu) in design, then maximize it, save, close..open again, open one form through my button, close the form, then my mainmenu (navigation) form resize again to smaller size (see attached), i wanted to remain in maximize as this is my mainmenu (navigation) form where my buttons sits..

This is the opposite of your earlier request.

If you always want your forms to be maximized, the easiest solution is to use the tab view. Otherwise, each form should maximize itself in the open event.

Upload a DB that shows the issue.
Could just use DoCmd.Maximize in the form Activate event perhaps?
