If I wanted to display a form without having the ACCESS window present, what
do I need to do? Can this be written into a BASIC program? If my form
updates a table do I need to consider this when writing this program?
 
If you mean, "Can I run an Access database application without Access", then
NO. The Access IDE or runtime
is required for ALL databases. There is no compiler for stand-alone exe's,
like VB. You can minimize the database window,
remove all Access menus and toolbars, or substitute your own, etc. so that
your database application looks like any other Windows app, but it will
still say "Access" in the title bar.

Actually, you can have the name of your App in the title bar and your own icon if you wish (startup properties).
There is no reason the user has to even know it's Access.

Right you are, of course. I misspoke.
