in design mode, just set the WindowState of the form hosting the internet control to 2 (vbMaximized), the default is zero (normal)
Marco

If I give like that only the form is seen in maximized state but i want the internet explorer to be opened in maximized state

Pls can anyone help me in doing this?

In the Form_Resize event, change the size of the IE control to fit the form
Marco

Here I want the form size to be small and there is a button in it.When i click the button I want the Internet explorer to be opened in Maximized state

I do not understand. Are you talking about IE (the standalone application) or the IE control that you put in one of your forms? Can you post the code of your button_click event?
Marco

from project->references->microsoft internet controls reference i selected.
then given code like

Dim IE As InternetExplorer
Private Sub Command1_Click()
With IE
        .Navigate "d:\CFCReport\CFCReport.html", 1
        .FullScreen = True

End With
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set IE = New InternetExplorer
End Sub

If there is some other method pls do inform me.From where I can get the IE Control?

gotcha.
try this (change google with your url) This code works only with the IE main window. If you want multiple windows, instead of the .HWND property you have to (find and) use the window handle of the newly created window.
Another option is to use the IE control (use Project->Components instead of Project->Reference) and put an IE control in a form, so you have complete control of it.

Option Explicit

Dim IE As InternetExplorer

Private Type POINTAPI
        x As Long
        y As Long
End Type
Private Type RECT
        Left As Long
        Top As Long
        Right As Long
        Bottom As Long
End Type
Private Type WINDOWPLACEMENT
        Length As Long
        flags As Long
        showCmd As Long
        ptMinPosition As POINTAPI
        ptMaxPosition As POINTAPI
        rcNormalPosition As RECT
End Type
Private Declare Function SetWindowPlacement Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpwndpl As WINDOWPLACEMENT) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowPlacement Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpwndpl As WINDOWPLACEMENT) As Long
Private Const SW_MAXIMIZE = 3

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim ip As WINDOWPLACEMENT
    ip.Length = Len(ip)
    With IE
        .Navigate "www.google.com"
        GetWindowPlacement .hwnd, ip
        ip.showCmd = SW_MAXIMIZE
        SetWindowPlacement .hwnd, ip
    End With
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set IE = New InternetExplorer
End Sub

Its working only once.When i close ie window and when run again i got error.I got a simple way to do this task,If u want u can ask me that code.

Can u help me to do the same using inetcontrol?
