How do you hide a form....

[colezpapa3]

I have a form with a timer...an application auto shut off.
I would like the form to be hidden so nobody sees it when they go into the database. How do you hide a form.
Basically I want the hidden form to be loaded at startup...

click on properties and then on the form whilst in design view. then you have the option to make the form visible or not

Sorry, I don't see a property that says visible.

Click on the actual form in design mode. Dont click on the top left corner but on the form/background. Open the forms properties and click on the 'Format' tab, the visible option should be there.

You han also hide and unhide it in code
Forms!YourFormName.Visible = False
Forms!YourFormName.Visible = True

Hope this helps
