[AccessD] Jumping Forms

Not sure if this helps but...

I once had a similar problem. I finally traced it down to a subform which had a docmd.maximize in its OnOpen or OnActivate event.

Dear List:

Further testing shows that when I comment out the two lines:

    Call adhScaleForm(Me, 640, 480, 96, 96, rctOriginal)
    DoCmd.Maximize

I still get the 'jump' when the form gets the focus.  So it doesn't have to
do with ScaleForm or Maximize.

Dear List:

I have an app which uses the form resizing from the ADH and DoCmd.Maximize
in the _Open event:

    Call adhScaleForm(Me, 640, 480, 96, 96, rctOriginal)
    DoCmd.Maximize

As an MDB - no problem.  But when I make an MDE the form 'jumps' if it's
already open and gets the focus.  IOW, if I'm at a menu and go to a form
from the menu, the target form does not jump, but I leave the menu open.
Then when the user closes the target form and the menu, which is already
open gets the focus (Activate event is triggered but not Open event, and I
have no suspicious code in my activate event), I get that extra 'jump'.

Doesn't disrupt the operation of the program but it's irritating.

Has anyone seen this behavior?  Any known fix?

MTIA,
