I guess Restore or Maximize
resets the visible property.

...which is why you want to skip running restore/maximize if the
form is not visible, as in the code I posted.

There isn't anything complicated here.

And, in fact, I'd suggest it's better to write a function for
opening any generic form and restore/maximize that can handle
opening hidden, too. That way, you don't need code in each form
to deal with it.

Agreed David, but it's the fag of modifying well over 100 forms -
but I'll get round to it. The generic function you suggest would
have to be called on the OnOpen of every form I presume

Er, what? I'm suggesting you get away from having any code in the
forms at all, and have an OpenForm function that sets things up,
maximizes/restores, or opens hidden or whatever. That way you don't
have any code to put into the forms -- it all goes into your generic
function to open all forms (or all forms you want to open in that
manner).
