Hiding Access ==> Must be a sort of Normal Program

[Creegfire]

Hello All!

As in the topic stands that im looking for a code that hides Access and it starts up like a normal program. Ive searched several things on the forums and i actually did found something only he didnt gave the code ;(.

So first question:

How can i do this with a code?

Second question:

What do i need to change on my forms?

Etc etc

Thanks alot in advance!

In your Access window, if you go to Tools --> Startup, you can set the database to startup in your main form, hide any toolbars and hide the dabatase window. You can use security features to prevent anyone fro bringing them back. On individual forms you can set what control buttons appear.

Should get you pretty close to what you need.

Well that's a thing what i already know m8 but thanks for your reply!

What i mean with it is that the access program is running in background NOT visible! So if i click on my database icon that it only shows actually my database and that its not starting Microsoft Access.

(Im using Microsoft Access XP)

In order to run your database you'll have to start Access.
So what you're looking for is not possible.

Problems with hiding the access window:
You loose access to the menus
All forms must be set to pop up
Reports on some PC's must be opened with snapshot viewer.

I conceided defeat and went back to the Db window, with custom menus etc
