If Form A has been opened and the user has maximized it, how can I prevent
Form B from opening in a maximized state?

You can't. Access is an MDI (multi-document interface) application, so
maximizing one object maximizes them all.

Doug, wouldn't Me.Restore in the Form_Load event of FormB do the job?

Yes, but it would also restore all other open forms.

Kathy,
I always hide the maximize and minimize buttons from users, that way I can
control the size of all forms on the screen.
