Opening the form only,

[roadie_jack]

I was just wondering, the database I have just created will have an end user/s, and I would prefare it if they could only open the form, ie it doesn't open access every time you open it. I know there is a way of doing it. Basically so it looks more like an actual program not a database.

If you just want the form you created to open on startup, then go to Tools->Startup and choose the appropriate form from the "Display Form/Page" dropdown.

If, however, you're trying to prevent users from having full access to your database (i.e. restricting design view, deactivating Shift-key bypass, preventign viewing of the Database Window), then you should do a search on these forums for "Security" and variants thereof. There's tons of articles!

freed from Access

I think roadie jack is talking about creating an independent program, free completely from the Access clothing.
