I have created an application (my very first). It has a split front end and back end. I plan to distribute the runtime version. I have used code throughout that "hides" the microsoft access shell for popup (modal) windows. In every form & report I have a function to show or hide the access window. Everything works great until I get to my reports. I open reports in print preview. I created a custom table (USysRibbons) and added a Reports print preview ribbon & xml. I assigned that ribbon to my report(s), and I assigned it in options as the default ribbon. If I test the ribbon (by working in the database using "shift" open) I see my ribbon. But, in when I open app without shift or or if I emulate runtime, I can't get the ribbon. :banghead:

I have multiple popups forms, several non popup forms and a couple of reports. All the forms function great. I just want to keep all the access background stuff hidden - except for needing the ability to print. Help!
 
I have a similar issue - did you get yours resolved?
