Hello,
It seems when I change my Main Switchboard to maximize upon opening it just displays a blank screen. I can see the switchboard if I go into design mode, but I can't get it to display in normal mode anymore. I have even undone the changes that I have made to the Switchboard and still will not display in normal mode. Any ideas?
 
Has the form's Hidden property been set by any chance?

Hi,

It might not be the case but I had this trouble with a db once. Make sure that the DETAIL section of the form is VISIBLE = TRUE.

Hope it helps.

No, it has not been set. When the Main Switchboard opens it just opens as a blank gray box. I have the database saved on my jump drive so I have been messing around with it to find out what is causing it. I start out with the normal small size Switchboard screen and then when I open it up in design view I maximize the screen and then center in the window. At that point I can go back to the main view and it is okay. Then I go back into design mode and set properties as popup and on open "maximize". Then I can go back into normal view and it opens up maximized and all is good. But once save the changes the next time I open the Main switchboard it pops up as a gray screen???? I have done this same thing to other switchboards with no problems. Thanks for the help...
 
Sorry - misunderstood "blank screen". Completely perplexed at this point...
