I know this has been answered before, but I can't find it
via the search criteria.

When a switchboard selection takes me to a user designed
form, I want the switchboard to minimize until I return
form the form.

Can anyone provide a resorce on this issue?

Thanks

Jim

Click to expand...

DoCmd.Minimize
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2"

It might be better to simply make the switchboard not visible:

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2"
Me.Visible = False

You would then make it visible again when Form2 is closed:
forms!SwitchboardForm.Visible = True
 
I don't see why playing with the switchboard's visibility
in this was is better.. To implement the function of
getting the switchboard out of the way, you have to put
code in every form that is called, and modify the
switchboard page's internal logic for each form calling
point. Seems like lots of work to maintain.

I know there is a single parameter "some where" that
controls this. That seems more direct.

Thanks for your thoughts tho.
Got any other ideas??
