Form in Full Screen

[Jeff A via AccessMonster.com]

Hi,

I read the previous postings on the topic of maximizing and making a form
display in full screen mode. I already included DoCmd.Maximize in the form's
open event and used API to hide Access itself. What I'd like to happen tho is
for the form to fill the entire screen such that it hides all of the desktop,
including the Window's Start/taskbar (much like what happens in most
setup/installation programs). How do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Jeff,

Try changing your form to Pop Up 'Yes' and Modal 'Yes' and see if it
doesn't do what your wanting it to.

Go to your forms properties and look under the 'Other' tab.

HTH,
Shane
