HOWTO: make sure the "view properties window" is closed

[Bob]

running access 2k;

If I leave the "view properties" window open on a form during
development, and then I run the app; when that form opens, so does the
view properties window.

I know I can turn it off using the view menu, or closing it - but how
do you do this programatically??

I've tried "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdProperties" - but that only toggles
the window from its previous state. - how do you definitively turn it
off?
I also don't want to use index #'s, because how would you know FOR
SURE that an item is at a certain index.

I've looked @ setmenuitem; but don't see how that would help...

tia for any help!

While you are still building the form, just set the "Allow Design Changes"
property, on the "Other" tab of the property sheet, to "Design View Only" and
the problem will never raise its ugly head.
