Maximize a Switchboard when user opens database 2

[djmurphy58]

I have a switchboard that I created from Switchboard Manager - so it already has an [Event Procedure] in its OnOpen property.

I'm a novice user and I would like to know how to have the switchboard maximize automatically whenever the user opens the Database. I'm guessing I need to add "DoCmd.Maximize" somewhere. But since I don't know s**t about visual basic, I don't know how or where this statement gets added???

Can someone help??

Thank you,
Dennis

In the OnOpen property of the form, select the "Event Procedure". Then click the build button (ellipse) to the right of this field. In the VBA window that opens, put:

DoCmd.Maximize

save and you should be done.

If you click on the ... for the OnOpen property it will open the VB Editor. You'll see code like:

Private Sub SwitchboardName_OnOpen()
...<code here>
End Sub

Between the Sub and End sub, you can put the Maximize command. Right above End Sub would work.
