maximize windows

[BBran]

In Access 2000 I had and Autoexec macro that maximized the database or
whatever window, when I opened the database. How do I accomplish the same
thing in 2007 without having to click the maximize button?

You would do it the same way in Access 2007, with ONE little change. If you
haven't set the forms to display in overlapping windows, instead of the new
Tabbed View format, you need to do so.

See this on my website for more info on how to do it:

I have done that already but when I open a query or whatever, it still is
not maximized. Am I doing something wrong?

You can't maximize queries, except manually. Use forms and you can have code
in their On Open event to use

DoCmd.Maximize

and in the On Close event put

DoCmd.Restore

which will restore all of the windows to their pre-max view
