Default + Maximize form when opening .mde file

[Lourry]

Hello All,

Is there a code that will open a default form when a user opens a .mde file? and that form's size is maximized?

example: I have three forms: main, search, search results. When a user opens the .mde file, I would like form "main" to be opened automatically and the size is maximized.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Lory,

Is the database you are referring to already an .mde. An .mde file can't be changed with code. You will need the original .mdb file. Hopefully, you made a backup. One way to accompolish the opening of the form is to check Help for Autoexec. It will explain how to make an autoexec macro and maximize the form on open.


Good Luck!

Thanks mph1! I'll give that a try. Good thing I kept a copy of the .mdb file!
