Cascading forms driving me crazy

Hello all,

I have a project that has the user with many open forms. Problem is that
they will move and go to RESTORE mode on me. All of my forms are roughly
the same size 8 inches wide by 6 inches tall. I want the form to be
maximized all the time. I don't have the old forms close when navigating to
a new form so I don't have to re-open the form when the user navigates back.
The native form does close when the user clicks back (and the previous form
is displayed.) What I've noticed is that when the user clicks back, the
form closes, the previous form is in restore mode then maximizes (i have
docmd.maximize in the on close event). I basically have the do.cmd Maximize
command on open and on close of every form. Other than the flashing this
seems to work. However, when I open reports, and open them in print preview
mode, user clicks close. All of my forms are cascading. Is there a simple
method to keep all of my forms the same size and maximized, no matter what?
I have tried putting POP UP to YES, but then the reports that are in print
preview don't display on top of the form.

Form settings
Data Entry - NO
Recrod type Dynaset
Record Locks - No Locks

Border Style - Dialog
Control Box - No
Min Max Buttons - No
Close Button - No

add the docmd.maximized to the reports as well. If you open anything in
minimized it causes everything to minimize thus causing the cascade effect.
