Access 2013 Form Maxmize not working

Is the form in tabbed or Overlapping windows mode?

Are you issuing the docmd.Maximize command in the Forms Open event?  If not, how are you ensuring that it is maximized?

What is the forms Border Style set to?

Hi,
Form is in overlapping mode and the docmd.maximize command is in the Form Load event. Border style is 'None'.

I don't have 2013 on my laptop, so cannot test, but I do not recall ever encountering this, although I rarely go into Maximized mode on my forms.

I'm trialling moving docmd.maxmize into form_open so will post result here in day or so - looks like it might be as simple as that so fingers crossed!

Apologies for slow response, it seems putting maximise into form_open only partially fixed the problem and other issues are at play. To add some more detail to my scenario, my application runs on 7 identical pcs and consists of a main form which is the first to open and then maximised as stated. As a subsequent part of the form_load event, I open a login form in dialog / pop-up mode.

 My findings are:
1. On some machines, Access takes quite a while to start (which is another baffling occurrence at the moment) and in this scenario, the login form appears but the main form does not and this invariably results in the main form eventually appearing when the login form is closed but with the edges cropped as described previously. It seems it's cropped to the size of the Access window when not maximised.

2. As a further part of the application, other forms are opened and on one in particular it seems that (sometimes), the main form reverts to it's cropped state when the secondary form closed.

Has anyone else ever encountered this behaviour? It's driven me round the bend, especially as it doesn't happen all the time or on the same pc(s).
Thanks

No-one? As an example, I've attached a screen-shot (very small for various reasons) but if you look, you'll see a white border around the edge of the blue form. I re-sized the form manually as large as I could so it's still useable but it's cropped around the edge with Access showing 'behind'. The area actually shown appears to be the form 'size'.
This has to be an Access 'bug'? Any help appreciated

What happens if you open the form maximized with DoCmd:

DoCmd.OpenForm "FormName"
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm , "FormName"
DoCmd.Maximize

Slow reply sorry - trying to recreate on test system but inevitably that works perfectly every time.

Your suggestion works fine but the form in question is actually set as the first form to open when database starts (via db options) and what actually happens is .. Access starts / screen remains 'blank' / white , then my login form appears which is opened by the main form.  When the login form is then closed, the main form displays but cropped to it's 'design size', even though it's contents are maximised. So weird and happening on multiple pcs / windows 7 and windows 8.

What should be happening of course (and does some of the time) is that the main form is displayed, then the login form opens on top of it.

Try to open the login form from the OnLoad event of the main form or the OnCurrent event.

Shall do - will try out of hours next chance I get!

Then you should open the form hidden, and then unhide it after the maximize command - or right before.

Best solution to inexplicable problem?
