Size of the Main Access Window

Hi everyone
I have a little question. I would like to develop an application in Access
2002, but I want to give the main Access Window a fixed border. So the
users can't modify the size of the main access window.

Does anybody know an API that deals with it? Or perhaps a function? How can
I fix this problem?

Just let me know,
Thx

I have an app that uses several main Access forms which are always
maximized. The user can still re-size the Access *application* window, and
of course numerous smaller forms in the app are not maximized, but the core
7-8 forms themselves cannot be resized smaller (or bigger).

Hi
I doubt it as the window style is part of the class definition of a
window.
You could resize the window on a timer - web popups do nasty things
like this.
You could write the application to use only dialog forms and hide the
main window by putting it behind things, or even hide the main window
altogther though if you do the latter be sure not to have untrapped
errors.
