Out of nowhere, my forms all open as Maximized
Good Day,
This wasn't happening before. All my forms have the default veiw set to single form and the Min/Max Buttons are both Enabled. When I veiw the forms in the Design Veiw, they show in a small area of the window, but when I go into the Form View, it takes up the entire area and the Min/Max Buttons are not available. Thank you very much! -debi- |

Hi Debi,
If you didn't mess with the controls, you might have "Maximize" some in your code. "-debi-" wrote: Good Day, This wasn't happening before.

I know I don't have anything set to Maximize. I just noticed that everything
in ACCESS, queries, reports, etc., do not have Min/Max Buttons. What could I have changed??????

What about your code? Go into your code source and click in the binoculars
type in maximize and search entire project. If nothing comes up and your not sure what happened, I use the fail safe importing method. Create a blank database in access and import your current database and see if that helps. BE SURE TO MAKE A COPY FIRST. There may be another reason or solution but this usually works for me. It only takes about ten minutes and at least you have a 50/50 shot. "-debi-" wrote: I know I don't have anything set to Maximize.

You know what, I used a different computer yesterday. Could that have
affected my settiings? If yes, how do I fix it. Even when I create a blank database, it does the same thing. "Stockwell43" wrote: What about your code?

I don't think so. I believe it would have something to do within the database
unless it is an Office setting in which I wouldn't have a clue. You created an new database and imported everything from your old one into it and it still does the same thing? Did you search your code throughout the database like I mentioned? If yes to both, I am at a lost because when it happens to me it's either Maximize in my code or I import and it corrects itself. What happens if you go on another computer to you get the expanded forms or the correct size forms? Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm sure someone on here knows what the problem is. Try opening the form in design view and click on the expansion window button to maximize it. Does the form itself go all the way to the border of the window? If so, move it over and make it smaller because the form will open to the size of the form in design view. Also, when the form is open, you may be able to click on the Window Menu and click Size to Form (if it's there. If the form is fully opened it probably won't show). If none of the works I am fresh out of ideas. Sorry Debi. "-debi-" wrote: You know what, I used a different computer yesterday. Could that have affected my settiings? If yes, how do I fix it.

Hi Stockwell, thank you very much for all of your suggestions. Tried them
all, still stuck. It's not just the forms, it's everything is ACCESS. I'm sure something will pop up. Thank you for trying! -debi- "Stockwell43" wrote: I don't think so.

Debi, one last thing. Do you have any macros in the database? If so, one of
then might be set to maxmize. I read it on a message board and I tried it and sure enough, everything opens as maximized. Are you able to get to the guts of the database (tables, forms, queries etc..)? If so, that could be the ONLY other thing I can think of that would cause that.

Even if I create an entirely new mdb, everything still maximizes, so I don't
think it has anything to do with code, objects, etc. "Stockwell43" wrote: Debi, one last thing. Do you have any macros in the database? If so, one of then might be set to maxmize.

No, not code a Macro. When you import there are tabs to click on so you can
select what to import. If you see a macro that says maximize or autoexec don't import it and see what happens. Macros are built into Access and basically allow you to do functions without coding because it will do all the coding for you. Try it and see what happens.
