I too am new to this and don't understand a great deal about it.

I've created a Contacts database which is perfect for what I want. When I
click on the desktop shortcut I have created, I would like it to open in the
contact details from with the form maximized to the full screen.

I've read the posts on here but I'm afraid I don't understand them at all.

Please would you be able to give me a step by step idea of how to do it?

Many thanks,

Bunximo.
