Database Window

[raymond3090]

Hi there,

How can I have the database window minimized opon loading the database? Note that I do not want the window hidden entirely, as in the startup menu options, but rather just minimized to the bottom of the screen.

Thanks!

If you minimise the database window and close Access it should remember this setting.

Yes but...

I realise if you minimise the dbase window then Access automatically sets it to be minimised on open.

But what if the user 'forgets' to minimise on close.... is there someway we can force the dbase to minimise the dbase window?

I thought about putting the code in the On Close within the switchboard code - any ideas what I should put?

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Minimize the database window and initialize the form.

On Error GoTo Form_Open_Err

' Minimize the database window.
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "Switchboard", True
DoCmd.Minimize

never rely on the user to do anything
