>>>It seems to me that his problem is not How to Maximize the Apps Main Window (VFP's Desktop) but rather How to display it at maximized window state without starting from its default size? IMHO, the problem can not be ,resolved if not to use an SDI form which will serve as the main window of the app. As far as I know VFP's main window shall initially be displayed on its default size an gets maximized once activated even issuing SCREEN = OFF on config.fpw coupled with _SCREEN.WindowState = 2 at the main program.

I understand this, but don't see your point.
