Try this in the Activate event of that form:<br />
<br />
DoCmd.Restore<br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
DoCmd.Maximize
</div>


Try this in the Activate event of that form:

Sorry I missed your comment:<br />
<br />
you can refer to other forms like this:<br />
<br />
Forms(&quot;YourSecondForm&quot;)<br />
<br />
In order to maximize this other form from your dialog form, try this:<br />
<br />
Add a code procedure to the Second form (the one you want to maximize):<br />
<br />
Function MaximizeMe()<br />
&nbsp; DoCmd.SetFocus &quot;nameOfSomeControlOnThisFo<wbr />rm&quot;<br />
&nbsp; DoCmd.Maximize<br />
End Function<br />
<br />
Now, from the dialog form, do this:<br />
<br />
Forms(&quot;YourSecondForm&quot;).Ma<wbr />ximizeMe<br />
<br />

</div>

Forms("YourSecondForm")

Add a code procedure to the Second form (the one you want to maximize):

Function MaximizeMe()
  DoCmd.SetFocus "nameOfSomeControlOnThisForm"
  DoCmd.Maximize

Forms("YourSecondForm").MaximizeMe

Hi:<br />
I have two forms opened at the same time<br />
The one at the back is opened as normal maximized form<br />
The one at the front is opened as a dialog <br />
There is a button in the second form(the dialog one) , this button is to open a report, and at the same time it is make the (the dialog form) invisible. <br />
When I close the report, I make the (dialog form) visible again. <br />
but the first form (which is at the back) appear as restored (I mean not maximized).<br />
I did not understand why access act like that.<br />
What can I do to make it remain maximized?<br />
Please.<br />
