I have designed an inventory Access database. Is there any way to get 1

[Brianc2k]

I have designed an inventory Access database.  Is there any way to get the input form displayed as a full screen?  Some of my table input forms have minimal fields and they open as a small window box on the screen.  I would like to place a shortcut on the desktop launching an input form and have the form take up the entire screen when they open.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Two ways:<br><br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;When you are in form design mode, maximize the screen.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then save the form.&nbsp;&nbsp;The next time you open the form, it should open maximized.<br><br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the Form_Open event, enter<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DoCmd.Maximize<br><br>The code is probably the safer way to go.<br><br>Good luck.<br><br>Kathryn

I tried maximizing the screen as suggested and that still failed.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is not as bad as it could be.&nbsp;&nbsp;I will just work around it.&nbsp;&nbsp;After all we are talking about a Microsoft product.&nbsp;&nbsp;Work arounds are common procedure.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for your suggestion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Did the code fail also?&nbsp;&nbsp;If you need help with that, just let me know.

No. Everything else works fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;I will just live with a window over a window over a window over the desktop for my data entry.&nbsp;&nbsp;I appreciate your assistance though.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks again.
