Switchboard does not return full screen

[mtagliaferri]

I have set the switchboard to maximise when opened, when I open any form fand then close it the switch board will not return at full screen, How can I have it maximise every time a form is closed!!!

Open your Switchboard form in design mode.
Open properties and click on Events

For the OnOpen Event, enter...

DoCmd.Echo False
DoCmd.Maximize
DoCmd.Echo True

You could also put this in the OnActivate Event.

The Echo False/True will freeze your screen and is more pleasing to the eye that if you leave it out. Not needed to make the maximize portion work though.

Thanx but seem not to work! this is the code I have:
' Move to the switchboard page that is marked as the default.
Me.Filter = "[ItemNumber] = 0 AND [Argument] = 'Predefinita' "
Me.FilterOn = True
DoCmd.Echo False
DoCmd.Maximize
DoCmd.Echo True
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i

Any other suggestions?

Again,

Open your switchboard in design mode.
Click your right mouse pointer on the black square block in the upper left corner off the form. Select Properties.

You should have an display window showing 5 tabs... the middle one is Event... click your left mouse pointer on this.

Click the left mouse pointer to the right of the line that says On Open
You should see ... if you do this correctly.

Click on the button displaying ...
Select Code Builder

Enter the three lines of code I already gave you.

Save and try again.
Done correctly, It does work.

Also... again,

If you HIDE your Switchboard rather than closing it everytime you move to another form, you will need to put this code into the On Activate Event rather than the On Open Event.

Then, everytime the Switchboard becomes the active form, that code will execute.
