open multiple forms when the database opens

[nrego]

Is it possible to open multiple forms when the database opens? Currently only one form opens. I am using Access 2010.

Thank you,

Nelson

Yes it's possible. Perhaps a better question is why do you want to open multiple forms?
If we knew more of your issue/opportunity, then perhaps there are some options.

I have 3 forms that I use a lot through out the day. I was just wondering if I can have all of them open when I start the database. I am trying to reduce the number of buttons I have to click.

I have attached a picture of the forms.

Instead of using the Startup Form option in Access Options, create a single macro and set the commands, one after the other, to open the forms you want. Then save it with the name AutoExec and it will be the first thing that runs when you open the database.

Thank you very much for your help. It worked !!!

Thanks for this. I open the same table when I open a file, so I did the same thing just for the table.

If you are opening more then one form how do you keep them from overlapping each other?

Likely the form view setting is Tabs, not Overlapping Windows. If you're asking because you use OL but want forms to open somewhere in particular, consider the form MoveSize properties in each form Open event.
