Problem Opening Another Form with a Button

[Chip]

Hi!

I am having a problem with using a button on one form (form1) to open
another form (form2). The problem is that when the button is pressed the
Form2 that is opened in a "Full Screen" mode instead of with the "thin"
border that it is set up to open with. Also, if i minimize the form2 then
maximize it the form shows as it should with a 'thin' border and not in the
"full screen" mode as it was originally opened. If i open the form2 by
itself it opens coorectly. I have checked everything i know of but the
Form1 where i put the button was not built by me and i am new with ACCESS so
there may be setting i do not know about. Also, i created the button using
the ACCESS button Wizard...

Can anyone offer some help on this????

And as always, THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

Ok, there is a few things you can check.

Is the first screen maximized?

If your first screen is maxed, then all forms you open AFTER that form will
also be maximized.

The above seems like your situation.

About the best solution is to NOT to have form 1 opened as maximized (I
could be wrong on this..).


You could I suppose do put a docmd.Restore in the form2 on-load event, but
then when you close the form, then your first form will not be maximized.

I would check the above....that is by guess of your problem.
