Honey, I shrunk the screen!!

[Bill Sturdevant]

I have 2 ".mde"s that I built for my users. The run
against entirely different databases, so there is no
conflict there.

Sometimes the users need to run them both at the same
time. The first one opens, and maximizes, just as I have
it coded to do.

The second one opens and also maximizes as I have coded it
to do, but the Access window is itself only half size!!!

What causes this, and how can I combat it so both apps
open up full screen?

Are you opening the databases with shortcuts from the desktop? If so, check
the properties of the shortcut and look for the 'Run' property. You can
change it from Normal Window to Maximized.

I am just double-clicking on the filename. And when the
first screen opens, the first thing I run is
DoCmd.Maximize. Can I control the "Run" property from my
code?

DoCmd.Maximize will maximize the forms and other client windows within
the Access application window, but won't maximize the application window
itself. You might add

RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize

to your startup code.
