Keeping Form Maximized

[Sprinks]

From a maximized form, a button opens a 2nd form which is maximized in its
OnOpen event. When it is closed, the first form is no longer maximized, with
the database window visible beneath.

Adding a DoCmd.Maximize works in the OnActivate event procedure, however,
the DB window is still briefly visible.

Can anyone tell me how to return to the maximized form?

Thank you.

Sprinks,

If the first form is maximized, I would expect that the 2nd form would
automatically be maximized too, without you needing to explicitly do so
in its Open event. This makes me wonder whether there is a Restore
method used somewhere in the process?

Steve,

Thank you for your response.

No; there is no Restore code anywhere. I have posted the code for both
forms below. They are part of a Timesheet database. The application uses
dummy, non-normalized tables for the entry form because they allow more
convenient data entry--the user cursors between date columns in a
spreadsheet-like form. When each user has entered the 2-week period, the
data is posted to normalized tables, and the dummy tables reset to the next
period.

The ResetLabels and UpdateTotals procedures are used to update totals rather
than using calculated controls because I found them to produce less delay and
screen flicker on each entry.

Perhaps you can find my errant way.

Thank you.
