form hidden behind design master 1

[ajking]

when I open my form, it fires up and then the design master loads itself over the form. I have to minimize it and then make the form window active. Is there a way to make the form load after the design master thus having immediate focus on the form? TIA

1. How are opening your form: command button, db startup, etc.?
2. Define "design master"...what's opening on top of your form?

I have a shortcut on the desktop pointing to the DataEntryForm.mdb file
the window is the design master (the header says DataEntryForm esign Master) ie the one that allows you to design a database - sorry if that sounds a bit simplistic.
I have watched the load sequence and it appears as:
(1) design master opens
(2) DataEntryForm opens
(3) design master then popsup over the form
I then have to click on the form to bring it to the front.
TIA

OK, that's the database window (design master). Go to the Tools/Startup... menu item and select your form (by name) to open when the database is opened. Also (on the same Startup dialog box), deselect the database window opening at startup. You can still access the database window under the Window menu by Unhide.
