Database Window & ICON

I have added an icon to my database and although I have deselected the
database window, the database window now appears?

Does anyone know why this happens and is their a way to stop the database
window appearing.

TIA
Les
 
The database Icon only appears on the database window. That window hidden,
or not, is controlled with a checkbox in the startup properties. Using F11
will expose it if it is hidden, unless special keys are disabled.

Hi Arvin,

I have tried deselecting the show database window and the Use Access Special
Keys, yet the database window still displays when I open the application.

If I remove the icon, then the database opens correctly without showing the
database window.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Les
 
Three possibilities come to mind:

First one. Maybe this?

ACC2002: Database Window Is Displayed When You
Click the Application Icon Even Though You Turned Off
the "Display Database Window" Startup Option
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313915

Second. If you are using the using the built-in Switchboard Manager,
the Switchboard Form's Open event probably has some code similar to this:

DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "Switchboard", True
DoCmd.Minimize

This code will minimize the Database Window, however, it will override any
setting you have in the Startup Properties to hide the window. So find those
two lines of code in the form's code module and delete them. Please note
that you may have similar code elsewhere even if you do not use the SBM.

Third:
This is written for Access 2002, but one other thing to check:
ACC2002: The Database Window Is Displayed When a
Database Is Opened from the Most Recently Used File List
Even After You Clear the "Display Database Window" Check Box
