I've published a database with the wizard, but when I try running it with the runtime it comes blank. No forms, nothing.. I have also created a .ACCDE file and it is also blank. What am I doing wrong?

Did you create some sort of menu system (either with forms or ribbons) so the user can access the forms? The runtime versions don't give access to the database window/pane so you have to build the interface yourself.

Can you point me in the right direction? The lack of documentation is driving me crazy.

Ah, never mind.. I finally found a link that showed how to create an autoexec macro to force the navigation form to run on startup. Thatks for the tip that lead me in the right direction.

No autoexec macro is necessary. You can just set a startup form using this method (which is even easier than creating a macro):
