I wound up placing code in my Init that basically says, if the WindowState = 2 then set it to 0 and just manually set the form dimensions based on the _Screen size. (_Screen is always visible in our system).

Its a shame that Maximize just doesn't call Resize(). Perhaps a good future enhancement if Ken Levy or any of the Fox team are reading this! <g>
