Hi Chaps

Probably one of those numpy questions but does anyone know how to run a database minimised?

I have a scheduled task that needs to run every 30 minutes which it does beautifully, however the database window pops up over whatever I'm doing at the time.

Not a huge problem but if anyone has a solution?

Extra info: The scheduled task calls a .bat file that runs the database and transfers data to a web site.

Thanks

Paul

Have you tried a 'Minimise' autoexec macro?

That would be AppMinimize under the RunCommand Action in macros.

Thanks David/Bob

That seems to have sorted things out. It always amazes me that the obvious can so easily be missed.

Bye for now..

No worries...there are so many things to learn about Access that it is easy at times to overlook something that, after finding out how to do it, seems so obvious. :) I know I've done that more times than I care to think about. :D
