I will post this again in hopes that someone can help me.
Or perhaps no one can. Perhaps Microsoft will realize
this extremely annoying flaw exists in their product an
will fix it... or perhaps not.

Access 2002
Windows XP

When I open my database it opens in a non maximized
view. I then double click the query I wish to view and
maximize that window. After I am done I close that query
window and nothing shows in my query list window. I have
to click on the table object selector then back on the
query object selector before they appear again. Does
anyone know how to fix this. One small FYI due to not
everyone in my organization having Office XP the database
was created in Access 2000 File Format so all can use it.

Thanks,
Rob
 
I refquently use this combination (WinXP, AccessXP,
datbases in A2K file format) and I don't see this problem
ever.

Try opening Access by itself, maximising the Access app
window, opening your database, maximising the Database
Containers window, opening & closing your Query. Do all
the Queries still visible?

Does this happen only on one particular computer or other
computers in your office across different OS & Access
version?

If it only happens on your computer, you may need to re-
install / repair the OS & Office XP.

Hi Rob,

Like Van, I have frequently used that combination (Access 2002, Access 2000
format, Windows XP Pro) and never seen this problem. Nor do I remember
seeing any reports of the problem in the newsgroups. Which doesn't make the
problem any less annoying for you, of course, but may help to explain why it
hasn't been fixed - it's very difficult to fix a problem that you can't
reproduce.

As Van asks, does the problem happen only on one PC? Also, does it happen
with all MDBs (I'm assuming it's an MDB, not an ADP?)?
 
I think I am looking for the same solution. I need to
open an Access application in a maximized state. I am
opening the application using the GetObject code from
inside a Visual Basic application. Anyone know the code
to open the Access database in a maximized state?
 
objAccess.DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMaximize

where objAccess is the Access Application Object in your code.

I think you need to open the database before you can run any VBA code in
Access.
