Forms cascading

[cyd00]

I have setup a database for our sales staff so they can track their prospects easier.

I have created a main menu that gives access to different forms, queries etc.

Problem is that when your are going back and forth from form to form you can see the "behind the scenes" action. For example when you click a search button, from the main menu, you can see the main menu form close and the search form open. From there, when you hit the search button, you can see the query open and then the list form pops up.

It's all very quick but you can still see it happening.

Also, sometimes the forms will end up resizing themselves, so the user can see all of the forms or queries behind them.

Is there a way I can make all of this seamless?

Thanks

Cyd

Well, I maximize all my forms normally. Since I "ain't gots no" VBA knowledge, I use a maximize macro and enter it as an Open event on all my forms. Also, go to the Tools-Options menu and remove the check from "Windows on taskbar." Also, I edit the startup to NOT open the database window.

That might give you a start, though I am sure it doesn't fix all your problems.
