How to hide the acess window?

[TiagoNogueira]

Hello folks,
I'm from brazil and here the information 'bout access is pretty small [please, forgive my bad english]. I'd like to know how to reproduce this effect here: http://www.esnips.com/doc/04a0e6ed-48a5-42a4-aeac-583ea015d28d/lendo-a-internet
As you can see, the form is open without access window been shown. I'm not interested in the transparent show effect [Actualy, yes, i'm interested, but that's for another thread]. So, anybody here knows about it?
Thanks!

access window = database window

suppress database window = F11

There is some information Here or if you want to do it with code have a look here.

Additionally the DB you linked to is in MDE format, see this link for further information on MDE files. Which you can create using Tools > Database Utilities > Make MDE File...

Hi , i have the same question , but for access 2007

 

[John Big Booty]

If you had of followed my first link you would have found a link to this page and I'm reasonably sure that the code provided in the second link will work with minimal alteration.

Access '07 uses creates ACCDE files instead of the MDE files created by earlier version. Additionally you could use the Run time add in to package your DB solution.

Not an appropriate response Adam. This crosses the line to just plain rude.

was just joking Bob. I apologize, and it will not happen again. I do know that John was OK with it, but it's the entire community I think that matters. Thanks Bob. =)

pretty sure he's looking for a way of hiding the Access container, not the db window.

tiago, check out some of the samples in the 'Sample Databases' area created by Dom DXecutioner. also search the rest of the forums for ideas.

John's avatar is obviously a picture of his hero, the eminent inventor, Dr. Emmett Brown, from "Back to the Future!"

As to the question at hand, I've tried to use a number of these hacks over the years, with very limited results. The common failings of these hacks were that

• They will only work if all forms are set as popup/modal, with a very rigid system in place limiting the order in which you can navigate from one form to another
  
• They all frequently resulted in the LDB file not being deleted when the database was closed. This means that when you next try to open the db, you get the message that the db is already opened by another user and you can only view it as a read-only file. To get rid of the LDB file (which can't simply be deleted) you have to reboot your PC.

Just my experience, of course, but as I said, I've tried five or six of these hacks over the years.
