Buttons stop working sporadically

I have an Access 2000 database that has worked OK for some years, but about
once a week or so, when I open it, none of the butttons on the main menu
form work. I click them and nothing happens. Their function is to open
other forms or run reports. However, if I close the form and reopen it from
the database window the buttons work fine.

What can cause this kind of "freeze-up"?

Any code running in the main menu form when it opens? Or is there additional
code running after that code opens the main menu form?
 
This is all the code running on open... all other code is triggered by user
input. Nothing seems lethal here!

Private Sub Form_Load()

'Show only one windows in the taksbar, not one per form, tables, report,
etc
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False
Application.SetOption "Log Name AutoCorrect Changes", False
Application.SetOption "Perform Name AutoCorrect", False
Application.SetOption "Track Name AutoCorrect Info", False
DoCmd.MoveSize 0, 0 'Move to top left of screen

' Minimize the database window.
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "frmMainMenu", True
DoCmd.Minimize
LineNum = Null
RealRate = Null

End Sub
 
Another ACCESS MVP has reported that he's seen similar behavior in ACCESS
2000, and the "fix" for him in that situation was to run the form in Restore
size mode, not maximized. Is this form maximized when the problem happens?
 
All my forms run in restore mode; when reports open they maximize but
restore on close, so forms are never maximized.
