You can use the MinMaxButtons property to specify whether Maximize or Minimize buttons will be available on a form.
The MinMaxButtons property uses the following settings.

You can set these properties using the form’s property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic.
You can set the MinMaxButtons property only in form Design view.
Clicking a form’s Maximize button enlarges the form so it fills the Microsoft Access window. Clicking a form’s Minimize button reduces the form to an icon at the bottom of the Microsoft Access window.
To display Maximize and Minimize buttons on a form, you must set the form’s BorderStyle property to Thin or Sizable and the ControlBox property to Yes. If you set the BorderStyle property to None or Dialog, or if you set the ControlBox property to No, the form won’t have Maximize or Minimize buttons, regardless of the MinMaxButtons property setting.
Even when the MinMaxButtons property is set to None, a form always has Maximize and Minimize buttons in Design view.
If a form’s MinMaxButtons property is set to None, the Maximize and Minimize commands aren’t available on the form’s Control menu.
