Hiding the application 1

[SymbionA]

I have a small application that sends an email every 5 mins.

The app is currently a form, when I open the form the timer event starts and scans a folder and sends an email with an attachment if a file is present.

I want the application to hide in the background and moreover to start if the server is re-booted.

Could somebody help on how I should do this?

Thanks in advance!

Add:

me.visible = false

to the form load event.

To have this start automatically after a reboot, you want to add the app to the system's Startup folder.

Cheers

Thanks Nick, for your contribution.

You know, I have not used Access at all since I came here and I have to say these forums have been fantastic and especially the people like you who help people like me out.

Thanks again!!

LOL

No problem at all, you've picked up a fairly complex task for having never used Access before but you appear to be getting all put together!

Cheers
