I found why it is not possible to hide hide the Database window by removing the option "display database window" from startup menu in Access 97, and when I open the database it is allways shown even I do save it as an MDE file. This is because I have had the following code placed in the start up form property On Open <br>
<br>
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)<br>
Minimize the database window.<br>
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "Switchboard", True<br>
DoCmd.Minimize<br>
<br>
So when I open the database, there is a procedure to hide the databade window but the second step is that I am opening the switchboard form (starting menu) which has the procedure to minimize the database window thus unhiding the database window. Hmmmmmm..... anyway now it is possible to hide the database window.

create a macro called &quot;Autoexec&quot;
Use the action &quot;RunCommand&quot; and the command &quot;WindowHide&quot;

Then use an &quot;OpenForm&quot; to open the switchboard or other menu form
