Minimize Access when minimizing a form

[Guest]

Hi again,
I have Access 2002. The main form of my mdb file is set Popup = Yes.
I have it so the Access Window is not showing when the form is open.
When I minimize my form I then see the Access window and have to minimize it
too. I would like to click the minimize button on my form and have the whole
program minimize. I don't want to see the Access window when the form is
minimized. I want my form and Access to minimize at the same time.

How can I accomplish this?

hi richard,

have a look at the following KB articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q141111 &
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q148834/

these will help you determine when a form is minimized so that you can trap
when the form is minimized and the second article shows how to minimize
access itself.

The only thing that I have not yet figured out is how to mazimize the form
when Access is maximized back coz with this code, access will be maximized
but the form will remain iconic. I cannot figure which event (if any!) is
fired when access application is maximized.


Anybody got a clue?
