 (Q)    When I maximize a form,  the Close button reappears even
when I've set it to false in properties.  How can I get rid of it? 
(A)    The reappearence of Close button on maximized forms is typical
behavior of maximized windows.  Solution is either not to maximize the form, or
instead of Docmd.Maximize, use the function provided by Terry Kreft.
