How do I prevent DB window from showing

[webvine]

I don't want the Database window to show when someone opens the database. I have gone up to Tools/Startup/ and unchecked Display Database Window selection, but when I close the database and open it, the database window can still be seen. Any "easy" suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

When you say the Access window, and you have specified that you told Access not to show the database window, I am going to assume you wish to hide all of Access, except for the forms you are working in.....kind of like you would see in a true Visual Basic application. Look at faq705-2562, but be warned it is not the simpliest piece of code to work with. I have samples if you need them....just shoot an email to my work or home addy below.

Well not sure what you mean, but when I open our database the Switchboard opens and then the Database Window, all though it doesn't open fully, you can still see it off to the side. I want them to be able to still select from the Switchboard the various items, reports, forms, inputting information etc, I just don't want them to be able to bring up that database window. I'm not too worried about security, extremely small office and they are not computer savay enough to know or want to know how to get in behind the scenes. I'm looking for a simple solution. Also I clicked on your link mentioned and the page could not be found. Thanks for any suggestions.

If all you want to do is hide the database window, and you have already done that accoring to your original post, it should not be showing. If it is still showing, there is something causing it to be displayed.

Another possible solution if you have the developer edition of MS Office is to use runtimes. I use them a lot in a large multi-user environment and they work fine, although you have to be carefull with your references in the DB etc.
With Runtimes the database window simply isn't there...you can't get to it at all. The database behaves like a VB application
