Keeping forms maximized

I have a database with multiple forms. When the startup form is loaded
I use VBA code to maximize the forms as follows

DoCmd.Maximize

This works and makes the start up form maximized. However when I open a
different form or run a report, the startup form is resized when I
return to it. Is there a way to force all forms/reports to run in a
maximized state at all times?

You could use the on focus. To max the form everytime focus is placed
on it.

include

docmd.maximise in every opneform event for every form

I have the same question! I have set the onFocus event for the switchboard
form to:
doCMd.Maximize
but, if I open another form, then click restore, then, the switchboard form
is also restored. Ugg. Why does restoring one form, effect other forms?

Ok, so, I went in and added the same command to OnCurrent, and GotFocus,
but, it is as if the code is being ignored (or suppressed) because the
doCmd.Maximize simply doesn't maximize the switchboard.

Can anyone clarify why this doesn't work? Am I missing some larger concept?

Thanks!
