From: ericb on 13 Apr 2010 17:22 I would like a form to open up and to take up the hole screen, or to maximize automatically. It is presently opening with the PopUp property set to yes. I put in the on load event these lines : me.setfocus docmd.maximize but it does not do it. I still have to click the maximize button on the form to get it to take up the hole screen. What else should I do ? Thank you for the tip. -- Eric

That code in the Load event works for me in a test popup form, in both Access 2003 and Access 2007. My guess is that something else is going on, but I don't know what it might be. Have you verified that the code in the event procedure is actually being executed? If you set a breakpoint in the procedure, is it reached? -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup)

So far as I can tell, the Activate event doesn't fire for PopUp forms. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup)

In the on load event i put msgbox "load". The odd thing is i get the message when i click the close button of the form. I don't get this one, a message in the on load event appears when i close the form !!! So i removed those lines in the on load event and put them just before the last one in the on open event. The last line being : DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo and everything works fine. God knows why ! I think I am making a phobia on the ms button. That last line clears everything and then my form will cover all of the rest. I will remove the min max options so the user will stay no matter what in my application. I hope. They will have a logout button. How can i replace the microsoft form icon that appears on an open form by mine ? -- Eric "Dirk Goldgar" wrote: > "ericb" <eric(a)b.com> wrote in message > news:8F61EEE0-7504-4D53-A958-6202C68203A3(a)microsoft.com... > >I would like a form to open up and to take up the hole screen, or to > >maximize > > automatically.
