Stopping Forms Opening In New Windows

[ProcalX]

On my switchboard i've got several forms, whenever i click a link to a new form that form opens in a new window, how do i stop this so that they all open in the same window?

Hi,
I'm not understanding your request.
All versions up to Access 2003 use seperate dialog windows to display database objects. You can use DoCmd.Maximize on the on load event of your first form (switchboard) and make sure you never use DoCmd.Restore anywhere or have any form's modal or pop up properties set. Then all of them should open up maximized and it might seem like they all open in the same window.
In Access 2007 you can open objects in a tabbed layout if you wanted that.
HTH
Good luck

Did you try searching the forum before asking? Your question has been asked and answered in numerous threads.

You need to run this code just once when your application is first opened...

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", False
