    Hello
    In the form properties, on opening this procedure
    Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    DoCmd.Maximize
    End Sub

      Thank you, I've been looking for how to do this for a long time, in Access 10 it gives:
      Private Sub Form_Load()
      DoCmd.Maximize
      End Sub

    Hello,
    Open the form in creation mode and then in the form properties under the [Format] tab, adjust the desired properties according to your wishes.

    Hello,
    In the end, I was right the first time.
    So in the properties of the form:
    Show selector, Move button, Record separators, Control box, and close button --> value: NO.
    Scroll bar and MinMax buttons --> value: None.

    Regards.

    Hello,
    Two solutions: right-click the mouse and click on [Close] in the list, or put a button on the form itself.

    hello

    ok but I don't know what to modify...

    I would like to create a homepage with different buttons for actions (open form, edit status...)

    I can handle the macros and the buttons... but not the rest...

    Hello,
    My response was not correct because I misinterpreted your request.
    To create a homepage, you simply need an empty form and to add the buttons with their labels according to your wishes.
    As you know how to create macros and buttons, that's perfect.

    hello

    I did it but it's still not what I want..... I would like the form to appear in a window without the Access 2007 ribbon (Home, Create,.....) and without the save menu,....

    I just want a window with my form in full screen....

    thank you for your patience.....

    Hello

    yes, absolutely, more ribbon... looking at it, I would prefer it in a window of a size to be defined...

    another thing, how do we exit this page?

    Hello,
    A bit of curiosity about the form properties...!
    Form properties, tab [Others] and set [No] for [Independent Window] and [Nodal Window].

    Best regards.
