Data entry form question... Please help..

[LCM_TECH via AccessMonster.com]

Hi..

Im new to this and I have a question:

I made a simple Database and a Data entry form.

How do I make it so that when it opens up, ONLY the data entry form pops up
NOT Access or the other box that keeps poping up..

I want only the data entry form to open.. Not access..

Please help me.. Thank you..

I assume you mean that you don't want the database window to open. This is
in your Tools/Startup dialog box.

Not sure what the "other box that keeps poping up" is.

Access HAS to be open but you can set the data entry form to open when you
open your database.

go to Tools>Startup click on Display Form/Page and select your form.

Also the "Other" box I think your talking about is the security warning box.
that can be removed by going to Tools>Macro>Security and set it to Low.

This can be dangerous thou if your opening unknow databases.

my menu up top to change it back.. lol.. how do I put it back?

Press F11, or hold down the Shift key while you're opening the
database to bypass the startup code.

Hold the Shift key down while you're starting Access, then change the
Startup options to NOT hide all your Menus!

If you have to change back and forth frequently, you can define a Macro,
which I'll call [M_SetStart], to contain the following action:

RunCommand StartupProperties

and this will work even if the Tools menu item is invisible. Well,
[M_SetStart] itself has to be visible somehow, for example via the
Database Window (which you can bring up via F11) or via a Command Button
on a Form.
