I've created a desktop shortcut to a switchboard. How do you customize the way the database opens? For intance Maximize a form of hide the master design view dialog box?

Thanks much,
-Matt

On the OnLoad event of the switchboard do:

DoCmd.Maximize

If you go to Tools/Startup there is the option to hide the database window. If you need to access it for any reason, F11 brings it to the fore.
