Removing "X" button and maximizing the windows?

[RiderJon]

Is there a way to disable the "X" button and the maximize/minimize that closes the window in ACCESS?

Also is there a way to force the ACCESS to display the windows in a maximized version?

Thank you.

Hiya,

All forms have properties under the 'Format' tab:
Control Box, Close Button, Min Max.

Not sure about always opening 'maximised', but it will be there.

Experiment.

To always open the form maximised, you will need to place the command "DoCmd.Maximize" in the open event of the form

Thanx for the tip guys.

I did a little investigation .... If you check the "Maximized" in the "Autoexec" macro. It always opens up maximized. Only problem .... you can't get rid of shrinking the size. By default, "the Min/Max" button is always present.

If you put the VBA coding that I have suggested in the on activate event, the form will maximise whenever it becomes active, i.e whenever anyone looks at it. This will resolve your problem of resizing.

Follow the advice of DJS2. In the form you want to open maximized all the time, add in the "Docmd.Maximize" statement.

To get rid of the Minimine, Maximize and close buttons, just go into the properties of the form and disable the Min/Max and close buttons.

That will solve both of your questions.
