Switchboard popup problem

[KHogwood-Thompson]

Hi,

I have a switchboard form that displays when a user opens the database, the
switchboard form just displays the database name, designed by, company
details etc and a command button to enter and one to exit.

The properties are set to Popup Yes, this works fine when you are in the
database itself, but when you open the database, the form is maxmised
automatically and looks odd as all the text is in the top left corner and I
want it to be popup only. I do have the database window hidden and wondered
if this was why the form is maximised?

Set the form's BorderStyle to Dialog.

Thanks Tom, I have tried this and it still maximises.

Hmmm, and of course you have checked for the absence of DoCmd.Maximize
in your code. And you are not using the new A2007 tabbed interface.
I would carefully compare the form properties with those of another
form that works properly.
