[AccessD] Form Resizing Itself

I might be mistaken...but I thought if you had multple foms/windows open in 
Access...and you closed one...the next one to get focus would have the same 
setting(maximized/restored) as the one that closed...unless you handle it in 
the events.

An easy way to show this...open 2 seperate forms...and maximize each of 
them...navigating them by using the toolbar/window button.  Even maximize 
the db window...if you close 1...then the next window that has focus will 
still be maximized...but if you were to click the restore button on the form 
that had focus...it would restore ALL open forms.

I know this happens in A97 and A2K...not sure about xp...and not sure if 
this behavior is controlled by a setting...or just the way things are.

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
