I am trying to create a database that, when opened, the only object to appear
anywhere on the computer creen is a particular form in Pop-Up view. I have
set the startup to open this pop-up form but i would like to see the database
window dissapear altogether, including from the task/start bar at the bottom
of my screen. what my plan was, if anyone could tell me if it's possible, was
to have a small button tucked up in the corner of my menu (initial pop-up
form) which, when clicked, opens the database window showing the lists of
tables, queries, forms, macros etc for working on faults/problems/creating
new stuff etc. I'm not sure how I will do this either if someone could offer
some help, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been stuffing around with it
trying to do these things for long enough.

Hi Jon

I know that using the properties you can remove most of the menu, combo
boxes, adjustable borders etc... but it is not possible to clear everything.
In order to do that you would need to convert it into an executable program
which is not possible through access.

to prevent people from been able to change things within the properties you
could have it run of access runtime instead of giving all users a copy of
access. access runtime is free to use when distributed with an access program
created with a developers version of access.

if that isn't any help, sorry.

Thanks for that Chris, I've since found a way of doing at least a variation
of what I was after. I just created a macro in the pop-up form's 'On Open' to
runcommand - AppMinimize then OpenForm - (pop-up form) which gives me a
result I'm happy enough with.

Thanks again.

Jon.
