Default Print Preview Window Handling

Hi,

I open a report from VBA code in a form. I use acViewPreview and open it as
a dialog (window type is acDialog).

In the report's OnOpen event, I maximize.

The reason I want that is because I want a full screen preview, and I don't
want any of the typical Access menubar or toolbars.

So all this is working fine.

Problem: If the user double-clicks the print preview's window title bar (at
the very top of the screen), this causes a "window restore" action to be
taken. But it's not reversible!

I have controlbox=yes and closebutton=yes. I have minmaxbuttons=bothenabled
.... but the window has no min or max or restore buttons showing.

So once I double-click ( === restore) I cannot maximize it again.

Any clues??

This is Access 2003.

Bob
