Hi I have a form to open up when my database is opened.
I would like to know how to do this!

Can Anyone help?

- btw.. if possible with the database properties window
minimised and the main db windows so just my form is
visible (it is in single form view with a smaller size
like a popup)

Choose Startup from the Tools option on the menu bar and specify the name of
the form you want to have started up. While you're there, you can have it
not display the database window at all (hitting F11 will bring it back when
you need it)
 
Thanks that works great. I know about the f11 and the
ctrl for safe mode and shift for real menu.

If I uncheck everything it is just as I want it but is it
possible to minimize the big window in the background so
only my popup form is showing. It is a one form database
you see.

Access is what's referred to as an MDI application: your form must exist
within the space of the Access window. You can use the code in
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0019.htm at "The Access Web" to hide the
Access window, but make sure you follow the advise on that page.

My advise would be to put DoCmd.Maximize into the Load event of your form,
and leave it like that, rather than trying to hide Access.
