Maximize and Restore Problems

I've been reading several other posts, but I still can
not figure out how to control what forms are maximized
and what forms are restored.

Currently I have a main form in which I'd like to remain
Maximized at all times. On that form several command
buttons call on other forms to pop-up with additional
data. Most of these forms have such little data, the
Restored mode would works perfectly.

Currently, I have a macro for Maximize and one for
Restore. When I want their properties to change, I use
the On Load event to select what property I want, and
default back to the Maximize macro by using the On Close
event.

Is there a better way to do this? When I get the smaller
forms to display in the restored mode, main form in the
background restores with everything else. It looks like
junk.

Thanks.
 
Access will run all of its child windows maximized or all restored, no
mixing. The exception would be a form opened as a "pop-up", such as when
using the acDialog window mode argument in DoCmd.OpenForm or setting the
form's Pop-up option to Yes on the Other tab of the form's Properties sheet.
 
Wayne,

I tried to use teh DoCmd.OpenForm with Pop-up sent to
yes, but for some reason the background form goes to
Restore also.

Any suggestions?
 
Wayne,

I owe you an apology. It worked after cleaning up the
mess from previous attempts.

Thank you for the help. I this Newsgroup system ROCKS!
