How do I allow only the SwitchBoard to open and nothing else?

[TBreaux]

When opening my Database, it opens everything up. What I want to happen is
when the EndUser opens it, it will only open the Main Switchboard for them to
enter the data and then close out, without them going to the reports to
modify the database itself.

First:
Open the switchboard in the design mode on the menu use view/properties.
Click the tab Format and change the "Min Max" and "Close" button options to
No. This will force the user to use the close or quit button on the
switchboard.
Next:
Under Tools/Startup clear all the check boxes and in the box Display/form
page type in the name of your switchboard.

Thank you so much LWendel - this is exactly what I was talking about... With
one exception.... maybe this cant be done, but I will ask anyways, You know
how you have the Switchboard come up once Access loads right? Well, Can you
set it to where Only the switchboard opens by itself in its own window
without loading Access?

Thanks in advance,
