Well, I’ll admit it is a very particular situation, but I’ve found yet another bug.

I had a specific need to open a form hidden to the user and then maximize it, so I made a call such as

DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Db_Util_GetInfo", acNormal, , , , acHidden

and then in the form’s Open or Load event I inserted a maximize command, like

DoCmd.Maximize

and low and behold the hidden form was no longer hidden?!

I’ve tried implementing a variety of suggestion from fellow MVPs without much success (but I still have a few left to test, fingers crossed). Should I ever find a workaround, I will post back and share with all.

And yes, I did notify the Access Dev Team.
