How do I get rid of all of the Control box buttons?
I have a form that I have maximize on the load. I want it
to stay this large and have all of the forms marked as modal so that they need to exit the form they are on before going back to the main form. I have "NO" set to the ControlBox, MinMaxButtons(None), CloseButton and basically everything except AllowFormView and AllowEdits. However I still get a resize on the top right corner of the form and then if they minimize the form cannot be made large again. How do I get rid of all of the ControlBox items? I even put a docmd.maximize on the resize action but this does not kick in when they click that bcenter button on the control box. If I set the Border Style to none then it is really bad because it locks them down to this smaller size. Please help!! Susan Diane |

Don't maximize the form. Leave it in Restore mode ("dialog" or "modal"); set
its size to be the "full" size (while in Design view, click Restore, drag the window edges to desired size in design view and click Save) to achieve your desired result. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Susan Diane" wrote in message ...

How do I get rid of all of the Control box buttons?
Thanks for the suggestion. Did that and it works kind of.
Different users have different resolutions and different sized monitors so I wanted a clean look that would fill up their full screen. This only works for some. It does not make sense that the restore button would show at all if I said no to the Control Box. Susan -----Original Message----- Don't maximize the form.

How do I get rid of all of the Control box buttons?
There are code examples around (especially in the ACCESS Developers
Handbook) that will allow your database to resize forms to fit the resolution of different monitors. It may be worth the $100 or so to buy this book (believe me, it is chock full of good information way beyond just this code) if you want to achieve the desired result. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Susan Diane" wrote in message ...
