Check the WindowState property and make sure it is not set to maximized.

For your form_load event:
<form>.WindowState = vbNormal

may help you.

Or <form>.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal

[androoo]

Yes have that already and also set size width and height but still the
form goes max...any ideas how to force it?

Me.WindowState = vbNormal
Me.Width = 858
Me.Height = 656

* *Me.WindowState = vbNormal

You should have forced it if you put WindowState propety on your
form's load event. If you still see your form maximized then your
screen resolution might be close or same with your form's size which
is not an actual maximization.

its strange its not to do with resolution--
very annoying but if no one else gets this then it must be a setting
somewhere or piece of code upsetting things..

I'm experiencing a problem that's similar; I start my MDI application. When
loading the main MDI form, I show the first child form form and set it to
maximize. The windowstate setting of that first MdiChild form seems to be
causing another form that shares the same MdiParent form (but is otherwise
independent) to also be maximized when I show it as well. I see no way the
windowstate properties of these 2 forms can be related using any of the code
I've written.
