Can you specify forms to open to a specifc size?

[amorts]

Hi, I have a switchboard which contains command buttons to various other forms.

Is it possible to set a default windon size and screen position on open for each of these forms?

Also how do I get the switchboard form to open automatically when the database is opened?

Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

To open a specific form when Access opens, go to Tools/Startup. There is a setting in there.

As far as moving and sizing, use DoCmd.Movesize as per this link:

Thanks for this, I am assuming you must place this code within the Form_Load stubs?

Yes, the best place to put the DoCmd.MoveSize code is in the OnLoad event of each form.
