Set Window State

[RICHARD BROMBERG]

When my application loads I want to automatically Maximize the form.

In fact I want to have the Switchboard and all subsequent forms Maximized.

Can this be done via code. ?

Hi Richard,

Add "DoCmd.Maximize" to the On Open event of the Switchboard.

This will keep your subsequent windows maximized , unless you resize
one of them. You could add the command to all your forms if you like to
make sure everything opens maximized.

Cheers - David

In the load event for the form

I can't advise strongly enough _against_ arbitrarily maximizing all forms if
you expect your application to be used by others -- the "Windows Way" is to
give the user control of his/her own desktop. And, some users (I, for one)
can be downright grumpy if you try to force me to do it "your way,"
instead -- so much so that we might just find another piece of software to
use that doesn't so force us.
