Database Window

[Sue]

I have recently inherited a database and started setting
my "startup" options. I deselected "Display Database
Window”. However, the Database Window still shown up when
I start the Database. Any suggestions?

By the term "Database Window" are you referring to the child window that
allows you to see the names of the tables, queries, forms, etc.; or do you
mean its parent--the access application window? Visibility of the child
window is what is controlled by the startup parameter. Visibility of the
parent window can be controlled through VBA code. Doing it safely requires
even more code.

Do you have a form that opens on startup? If so, check the code in the
form's load, open, activate
events.

I'll take a guess that you are using the Switchboard addin. This form puts
the following in the
Open event code
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "Switchboard", True
DoCmd.Minimize

This is causing the db window to appear and then minimize, which occurs
after your startup options.
Just remove or comment out these lines and it should work.

Thank you all for your help and Joan's method is working.
