Form running in background 1

[Terkle]

Hi there
I want to have a form running in the background (i.e. hidden) that I can use to trigger a shutdown of the database if necessary, but can't find out how to hide it. Is anyone able to help me?

Thanks

Terk

Thanks for the inspiration from just being on this site. I have found the code I need from the Access Help file (is this a first??!!) By adding:

Forms!frmHidden.Visible = False

to my startup code, it seems to do the trick.
