start up options linronamy 24.09.2006 00:39:01 After using the start up wizard option I specified a form to open when I opened Access. When I open it, the form I specified opens as expected but it is not in the maximized view which is necessary due to size of the fields on the form. I can't figure out how to get it maximized automatically. Any ideas what I'm missing?
