I have created a database with a form that comes up as an
initial menu. Unfortunately, the form isn't maximized
inside Access, but is windowed.

I have noticed that whenever the database window is
maximized, the form will maximize too.

How can I default Access to start Maximized?

Sorry this may sound simple, but I'm a simple guy.

Thanks for any help.
