Can you try an alternative method of maximazing the preview window? Would you still have a problem? I have a recollection of this problem discussed, but could not find it in my quick searches. I'll try again later.

Found one more thread with perhaps a silimar problem: Re: Hide the report designer window Thread #1098752

And one more Report designer appearing in EXE Thread #700742
