Don't maximize other forms

I have a switchboadr that calls other forms to open. A few of these forms
open and maximize to fill the screen. When I close the form and the focus
returns to my switchboard, it also maximizes. This looks awful since the
form was not designed to be nearly that large.

How can I prevent this?

Is there something I can put in the "on got fuus" to prevent this?

thanks,

Rick

Several ways to deal with this effect. The easiest is to
use Albert Kallal's idea of setting the switchboard's
MinMaxButtons property to either Min Enabled or None.

Another way is to add some code to the switchboard's
Activate event:

DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "HolidaysSub"
DoCmd.Restore
