[AccessD] Maximize in A2010

Perhaps, but my experience would suggest it is more of a bug than anything else.  Or perhaps a deliberate attempt to move folks off MDE to accde instead.

The premise is simple.  If a form is set to docmd.maximise then that is what it should do upon open (or event).  It works as expected in A2003 as MDB or MDE.  But in A2007 the docmd.maximise is seemingly ignored.  The form usually opens as a float - I think it also did it for MDB format stuff as well - can't recall.

>From memory if you click on the form or moved it - it would immediately maximise and snap to full size.

As I said, it has been a while, but I do recall it coming up consistently in the testing we were doing.  Annoying.

Cheers
Darryl.

As far as unhandled error what I was wondering is that maybe if perhaps an mde keeps users out of the code, then unlike an accdb or an mdb possibly the code in an event just stops executing with no warning?  I've never built or tested an mde!
