Switchboard maxed

Experts,

I've gone into Startup and set the Switchboard to display when Access
opens.

Problem is, however, the Switchboard does not open maximized. Any
thoughts?

Thanks,
alex

Maximize your window which lists all tables, queries, forms, etc.
Then when you open the main switchboard, the form should be maximized.

Alex,

Create an open event for the switchboard form and add 'docmd.Maximize' to
open it in a maximized state.

Sorry to jump into this discussion, however I need to do the same thing but I
don't know how to "create an open event for the Main Switchboard.'
Should I post again or can you help me.
Thanks

1. open your switchboard form in design view.
2. select the form by clicking in the square in the top left hand
corner.
3. right click on the square and choose properties.
4. go to the events tab
5. left click on OnOpen
6. Click on the build button "..."
7. go to the code builder.
8. it will automatically create the sub. edit it to show this:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo tagError

DoCmd.Maximize

Exit Sub

tagError:
MsgBox Err.Description

End Sub
