There are several solutions to this. One is to create a form with WindowState set to 2, as Agnes suggests, and send your report to that form.

Another is to SET RESOURCE TO a file that you ship with the app. If you run the report yourself and maximize it before you deliver the app, that setting will be stored in the resource file.

The easiest way (I think) is to put a ZOOM WINDOW MAX command in the BeforeOpenTables method of the report's DE.
