Closing the main form while application runs

Access 2002:
When Access starts, it opens it's main window. When My
Application is started, the switchboard page appears.
What VBA or other magic can I use to make the Main Window
go away and just leave my application forms on the screen?

Thanks.

At the database (main?) window go to Tools/Startup and
uncheck the Display Database Window option. It will now hide
the 'main' database window. Hit F11 if you need to unhide
it.

Thanks, but wrong window...

The database window of which you speak is a child window
to the Main Access Application window. This "Main" window
is open and visible even when no database is open.

The effect I want is that when I load my database and my
switchboard form opens, or any of my other forms open, the
only thing I can see, beyond the forms I open in my
database, is my desk top.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
Guess I'll need to check my error handlers well before I
implement this.

Where do you guys go to discover this advanced stuff?
It's not in any book or help file I've seen..
