Opening a form by itself.

[krwyth]

I would like to have an access form open independantly of access (so that you do not see the access application in the background). I'm pretty sure I have seen this done but can not find the topic in help.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA

I don't believe this is possible unless your talking about making the application an executable. If so look up mde.

Hi,

This can't be done. You may have seen an Access db being opened with a modified menu...

For more info try this link:

This can be done so that access isn't exacly visible... It will be on the start bar, but you can have a form open (change the form to a pop up form), and minimize the access program... The form you have open should still be visible... Look into it...

Hi,

I believe that you are looking for this code:

Docmd.SelectObject acTable, , True

To Hide the database window, run
Docmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
Docmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
