Close Database Macro Opens Getting Started with Microsoft Access

[kgatesman]

I am building a application for HR personnel to browse job descriptions in Access 2007.

On my navigation pane, I have added a Close button, that triggers the Close Form and and CloseDatabase macro.

When I hit the button to start this macro, the db closes, but Access opens the Getting Started with Microsoft Access panel. My users don't need to see this. When I have built similar things in the past (different company and computer), Access closes completely.

What is preventing Access from closing 100%?

Thanks for the assistance!

I dont have an answer yet, but a cause. The closedatabase closes the database, but not the program. Access itself is seperate from the database, so closing the database does not close access. I'm looking still for a solution but i thought id post the cause so that you can look also and maybe find it before me

Shouldn't you use the quit option int the macro?

aha! got it. you want the "quit" action in the macro. that quits access not just the database. Try that out. when i did it just now i used the "exit" argument for the quit action and it worked, especially because the close action prompts to save, but theres also a prompt and save all argument for quit so try em out.
