All forms are maximized

M

Mohan

When I maximize the main form, all forms are maximized.

I just need to have the first form (a search form) maximized and all other
subsequent forms not maximized (normal window).

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks

Try adding:
DoCmd.Restore
to the Activate event of the forms that should appear in windows, and:
DoCmd.Maximize
in the Activeate event of the one that should use the whole Access window.

If you want the main form maximized and visible in the background while all
the others are "normal", you may be able to do that with "popup" forms, but
they come with their own set of limitations and are somewhat inflexible. The
usual way to handle this is to size the main form, in "normal view", to
almost completely fill the screen... it'll be in the background when the
additional forms are displayed.
