If I understand your questions.

Question 1:
-- Select Tools: Startup
-- Enter the name in the Application Title control

Question 2: Use DoCmd.Maximize when you open your forms and reports. Put
that in the Open event of each form/report.

Thanks. DoCmd.Maximize seems to apply it to the form, but not to the Acess
Window it-self. I'm rigth ? what is the difference between Docmd.Maximize and
Me.move if any ?

Maximize expands the form or report to fill the open database window.

Me.Move ??? I'm not really sure what this is. Are you referring to the
MoveSize Action or method? This moves or resizes the Active window.

Is it possible to control the Access Window itself under program control?
That is, the Application Window whose title reads (by default) Microsoft
Access.
Specifically, stabilo and I want to control its size.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I don't have anything, but here is a reference I have to something that may
work for you.

We have some examples of how to manipulate the Access window, and the form
window in the free database at this site:

Hope this helps,
