hiding the parent form while opening the subform

[gdanalakshmi]

we have used a lot of main forms and sub forms in our application. So, all the loaded forms appear in the task bar.

The users are always tempted to switch between the forms using the form names in the task bar leading to disasterous results. How do I hide the main form when subform opens and I want the main form to be activated when subform closes??

You should close all unused forms and subforms.

Search the forum for the keyword "toolbar" and user name "ghudson" for I have posted quite a few threads in the past two weeks about hiding/disabling the menu bar and toolbars. Some of my posts even have a sample db showing two different methods of how to do it.

Under Tools/Options you will find the option that controls whether forms show in the task bar. Uncheck it.
