You could use start up option and minimize the Database and Display a
specific form as the default
 
Hi Joe

Not sure what else to suggest for you. I don't use Dev's code, but I have
every confidence that it worked in the version of Access and Windows he
developed it in, so I can't see what should have changed now.

If no-one else replies, start a new thread. Include your the exact error
message you receive. Specify your version of Access, and of Windows. See if
anyone has seen the same issue.

Thanks Allen. I may try minimizing the app window instead of hiding it -- not elegant, but if it works. This is another attempt from a VB developer trying to get the same type of app interface in Access -- no cigar yet. Joe

Did you set the Popup property of the form to Yes? This is a requirement any
time you want the form to exist outside the main Access window.

The Popup property of the form is set to Yes. Thanks for the response Rick -- I'll keep trying. It seems like an API call to hide the app would, when executied hide everything in the app -- like it currently does. I'll simply change it to minimize and see what happens.

When I used that routine I did find that (in Access 97) I had to use the Timer
event of the form to hide the Access window. The Open and Load event wouldn't
work. Other than that it has always worked for me.

Allen & Rick,

Minimizing the application window works beautifully. I just set the
function call in the Load event and VOILA! Not elegant, but it does the job
I'm looking for. I've got a few Access apps that I developed over the past
few years, and I want to use them as samples for future clients. It wouldn't
do to have either the maximized app window show on this sample with
relatively small popup forms, or to then have a less than maximized app
window for another sample app that calls for it.

These are my first posts to Community Newsgroups. It's a great resource, and
I'll visit often -- hopefully, Ill be able to contribute some help from time
to time.

Thanks again guys, a nd Happy New Year!

I'm using Access 2003 (aka Access11). I've tried the various events from Open to Current and got the results reported in a previous message/reply I posted. Setting it in the Time event worked -- it hid the app, popup form and all! I've got Access 97 on another machine, and, if I get time today, I'll try it there (the app in question was originally developed in Access97). Thanks once more!
