Hi,

I would like to know how to maximize the main window of my application
(Access 2003) and hide the buttons (maximal size and reduction).

I disable all functions on the form property.

Thanks.

I don't believe you can accomplish that with the properties. Once you
maximize a form, the restore button will be there.

You could resize the form so that it fills the screen (but isn't maximized).
Then the properties you set will be followed. (minmax, control box)

Docmd.Maximize will maximize the main form (and all other forms). You can
place this judiciously in code, usually at startup.

I don't believe you can realistically remove the min/max buttons etc (the
settings in form Properties only work in some circumstances).

If the user really wants to play with that, why does it matter if you let
them? All you have to say is your app works best maximized.

This refers to maximizing forms within the Access application window. I don't
believe you have much control over the main application window itself (apart
from Maximized in the shortcut, or short of writing some Windows system call).
Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to "usurp" the standard features of
Windows-the user may have some reason to "stick your app in a corner" for all
I know.
