Hello,

I have the access project.

I want to try when I open the database only show the main form and also lock all other forms. Since everything is beginning the main form including the user login...

Can I do this way?

Your suggestion would be very helpful.

Thanks
Jeannia

 
Not sure what you mean by 'lock' other forms, but just setting the 'main' form as the startup form/object will at least get your users started in the direction.

If you also hide the db window and provide a useful forms navigation process, it will keep users 'on track'. This is somewhat hazzardous unless the forms navigation is quite robust, as errors may easily leave users with no way out of the maze you are creating. Further, you REALLY need to think through the navigation. If different users commonly use the same app for different purposes, you can get to a situation where the forms navigation is the most complex and demanding part of the entire app.
