Stop jumping forms

I was wondering if there is any way you can stop Access forms which are
maximized in code from jumping a bit when you open them.

Mine doesn't jump with a 128 MB video card and maximizing in the Open event.
I think that the card speed doesn't matter, but it since it could, I
mentioned it.

Try replacing the "DoCmd.Maximize" code with:

On Error Resume Next 'Needed in case there is a fail, to ensure that
screen updating turns back on
DoCmd.Echo False, "" 'Turns off screen updating
DoCmd.Maximize 'Maximizes the form
DoCmd.Echo True, "" 'Turns screen updating back on

Hope that helps,

Another thing to look at, is the presence (or absence) of menu bars.
Before you save any/all of the forms, make sure to turn off all of the
menubars while you are in edit mode.

Design view.

Menu bars that I have up during design tend to want to come back on
when the form is opened so debending on what combination I have open
when I save the design, some may come on again when the form is opened
in production.

So I have basically tried to always remember to shut down all menu
bars before I save the form.
