Hiding the Access Main window while my app runs and the user navigates thru it

[Skipper]

Thanks for the help. I am enjoying this site. It has been helpful. Thanks again

How do I hide the main access window while my app is running and the user navigates thru it?? I am a little bit of a newbie. I am trying to teach myself thru the internet help and such. I am using Access 97. I have somewhat got the code working but I can not navigate once I close my startup screen. I have to restore the main window to get to my next form. Pleae help.

Thanks Skipper

Set up your own main menu form, with command buttons that open all the other forms. Then go into Tools, Startup and select that form as the Display Form, and disable the Display Database Window option. If necessary, you will still be able to display the Database window by:

1. pressing F11 (unless you have also disabled the Use Special Access Keys option in Tools, Startup); or
2. holding down the Shift key while opening the database to bypass the startup options (unless you have also set the AllowBypassKey database property to False - this requires some VBA coding)

Thanks for all the help. Stupid me it seems I did not set all my forms up to be modal and popups. I got it fixed though. Is there anyway to stop the flickering of my labels when the database refigures itself?? Just wondering. But really thanks ALOT for all the help.
