[AccessD] Form Resizing Itself

I do issue a docmd.maximize on both the on open and activate for the
first switchboard form.  When a button is clicked to open the next form,
also in maximized state, the switchboard resizes itself, so when I
return it is small - until I put the on activate maximize.  I don't like
the momentary flicker that occurs as the first form re-maximizes.  But,
I suppose that is life?  I don't remember Access doing this before.  It
has been about a year and a half since I worked in Access, though.  And
I am so happy to be back having fun.  Spent a year and a half doing SQL
development.  This database is front end Access and back end SQL.
Someday to be upped to VB.net/ASP.net after I get the design fixed,
which should take a few months.

This happens in all versions of access and indeed all MDI applications. 

If you want to keep the first form maximized either issue a
DomCmd.Mazimize
in the form's Activate event or open the other forms in pop-up mode.
