You have some unusual requirements. What exactly is the difference
between a maximized form and a form of maximum size?
"A Form of Unusual Size." :-)
A distinction I should have made more clear, perhaps with:
"Full Screen" to mean Maximized.
"Very Large Form" to mean a form in Restore View, made as large as
possible. (That's not an option for my "background" Form.)
Anyway, you can always have datasheet view if you put a subform in
datasheet view on an unbound form.
You're right. It still won't look or act the same as a Restore Size
Datasheet View form (User resizing is an issue) and I may be able to get
closer to that appearance with the continuous form (which also has resize
issues.)
Users expect EXACTLY the same as a Query Datasheet.
Thanks, Tom. that's something I hadn't considered.

>>That rather long subject says it.
In Access97 running on XP - I want to display a Maximized size Form01,
then open a Restore size Datasheet View Form02 on top of the first
Form.
PopUp won't give me Datasheet view.
Dialog mode won't give me Datasheet view
I could make Form01 Restore size and expand it to fill the Window in
Restore size (maybe DoCmd.MoveSize Right, Down, Width, Height) - I
don't want this.
I could imitate a Datasheet with Form02 in Form Display mode - I don't
want to do that.
Access97 doesn't have WindowMode:=acDialog
Pity.
OK, where am I wrong or what have I missed? It can be done?
Thanks,
Alan Forsyth
