How do I hide my database window when I open the database without having a lot of security.
 
Go to the Tools menu and select Startup.
Clear the checkbox that says:
"Display Database Window"
 
Neecie I have already unchecked that box. It minimizes the database window but does not hide it. Can I hide the database?
 
Hi

Create a autoexec macro, use it to open a form in dialog mode. this will hide the database window and disable the F11 key.
 
Jbleoo, I tried your sugestion and I can still see the database window.

The above has worked everywhere I have seen it. Maybe you have some code that is in your startup procedure that minimizes the database window? If so, comment it out for now. To manually (in code) hide the database window, do this:
Code:
        DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
        DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide

Thanks everyone. This works great for me. May God bless you and have a wonderful day.
 
I should have mentioned that you must specify a form for opening the db - otherwise you will still see the db window because Access does not know what else to show!
 
Thanks Neecie, I did. I am using a swtichboard. Thanks again for all of your help.
