Minimize (not hide) Database Window

[treva26]

Hi,

I have seen many posts about hiding the Database Window
(the one you can access all of the Tables, Queries, Forms etc right?)

But is it possible to just minimize it using VBA instead?

I have some more advanced users who may want to use it, while hiding it from most people.

I would rather not have a button to hide/show, I just want to minimize it.

Thanks.

I have been searching.

All I can find is ways to hide it.


Can I use
DoCmd.SelectObject
to select the database window?
(the one you can access all of the Tables, Queries, Forms etc right?)

If so what is the name I use for it?

Ok I finally found it!
Not sure why this references the Switchboard, but it works...

' Minimize the database window.
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "Switchboard", True
DoCmd.Minimize

I put it in the "Form_Open" sub of the Switchboard.

It minimizes the database window and the Switchboard opens normal size.
