Access Form Set up

[pat731]

I set up my form to open on Start up but I want it to open in full screen view. How do I do that? I would also like all my reports to open in full page also. Thanks for any help

If you are using an AutoExec macro to open the form on startup just select as your last command a Maximize action. After the form is opened in the macro then the maximize action will give you the desired results. Bob Scriver

I didn't use the AutoExec macro to open this form but I can try your comment if you tell me how to open it in macro form.

Create a new macro and name it AutoExec. In the first row of the actions Selec OpenForm and then fill in the parameters at the bottom. In the second row of the ACtion column select Maximize.

Now your database will always execute this macro upon startup and perform the ACTIONs indicated. Open the form and then Maximize it. Bob Scriver

Access already has a start up option in the tool menu , in there u can select what is you main screen and what toolbars to show this would do the same trick
