There is a good article HERE:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317113 about how to automate Access from within a VB.net application. I read through it and tried some of it out myself, and it workd just fine, but I am wondering if there is any way to open an access form WITHOUT opening Access itself. You see, this technique will actually open the Access application window along with the form I want opened.
I would like if possible to just open a particular form from vb.net and not have the Access application window open. Just a thought could be to have Access open, hidden in the background (without displaying the Window or a taskbar button), which would just display the form I want to open. But how would I go about doing this? Is this even possible?
