    Making an Access application bilingual

    Hiding a form on startup

    thanks! Hey, yer a king mile :D Thanks for the tip, i knew it was simple, so simple I almost blushed when I saw it was an argument of the openform command. though, im still surprised to see that the hidden/visible status can only be set upon opening the form. Anyhow, problem solved!

    I know RunSQL is for action query but is there....

    As in everything, surely there's a reason and a situation for both. As far as my own knowledge goes, DAO would be more for database handling situation. Meaning messing with the database itself, manipulating its objects...etc. ADO would be more for querying. But what do i know, i never used...
