In vb help enter database window.Came up with the following:
Startup Properties Example
The following example shows a procedure named SetStartupProperties that passes the name of the property to be set, its data type, and its desired setting. The general purpose procedure ChangeProperty attempts to set the startup property and, if the property isn't found, uses the CreateProperty method to append it to the Properties collection. This is necessary because these properties don't appear in the Properties collection until they've been set or changed at least once.
Sub SetStartupProperties()
Const DB_Text As Long = 10
Const DB_Boolean As Long = 1
ChangeProperty "StartupForm", DB_Text, "Customers"
ChangeProperty "StartupShowDBWindow", DB_Boolean, False
ChangeProperty "StartupShowStatusBar", DB_Boolean, False
ChangeProperty "AllowBuiltinToolbars", DB_Boolean, False
ChangeProperty "AllowFullMenus", DB_Boolean, True
ChangeProperty "AllowBreakIntoCode", DB_Boolean, False
ChangeProperty "AllowSpecialKeys", DB_Boolean, True
ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", DB_Boolean, True
End Sub
Function ChangeProperty(strPropName As String, varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Integer
Dim dbs As Object, prp As Variant
Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
Set dbs = CurrentDb
On Error GoTo Change_Err
dbs.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
ChangeProperty = True
Change_Bye:
Exit Function
Change_Err:
If Err = conPropNotFoundError Then ' Property not found.
Set prp = dbs.CreateProperty(strPropName, _
varPropType, varPropValue)
dbs.Properties.Append prp
Resume Next
Else
' Unknown error.
ChangeProperty = False
Resume Change_Bye
End If
End Function
