unhide database window using VBA...

I have an autoexec macro that fires and hides the database window when the
mdb opens...
My client wants to have a button that closes a form and returns them to the
database window, with the Tables tab selected - but I'm having trouble
accoumplishing this. Here's what I have so far:

1 Private Sub btn_ExitFormOpenDbWindow_Click()
2 DoCmd.Close 'Close the open form
3 DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowUnhide 'unhide cmd window...
4 DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True 'select
5 DoCmd.Maximize
6 End Sub

The problem is that the code on line 3 pops up a dialog asking which window
I want to unhide - I want this to be done automatically... any idea how todo
this.

Any thought would be appreciated...

Try:

Private Sub btn_ExitFormOpenDbWindow_Click()

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
DoCmd.Maximize

Exit Sub

ErrHandler:

MsgBox "Error in btn_ExitFormOpenDbWindow_Click( ) in" & vbCrLf & _
Me.Name & " form." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error #" & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Err.Clear

End Sub ' btn_ExitFormOpenDbWindow_Click( )

HTH.
