Only necessary for the 1 database.  Does it make a difference that I am running A97

Just to clarify... this is the process I am doing that doesn't work

1. open Access, restore down the instance (so that I can see the deskyop around the edges behind
2. close the instanc
3. Open my databas
3.a The autoexec in the db runs executing "Maximise" comman

The instance is still not maximised though - desktop still visible around the edges

As I understand it, the command wouyld do nothing since at that stage nothing is open within my Access Instance (hence there is nothing to be maximised within it).  The helpful would follow this thought that the command only maximises items WITHIN the Access instance

Help states
You can use the Maximize action to enlarge the active window so that it fills the Microsoft Access window

If following the steps I've written above, you get the instance to maximise... I'd love to know why/how

Thanks for persevering for me

    Ok let me get it straight first..
   
    You want Access to be maximized at all times no matter
    what database you open? or do you just want access
    maximized when ever a certain database is open
   
    Many Thank

    you 'restore down' an Access instance and then re-open -
    it won't open maximised
