In Startup, I want to only show the main form ... and NOT MS Acces

[Bill]

I have done this before but forgot how to do this.

Currently, I have my Access database open up my main form when the user
double-clicks the .mdb (via selecting the specific form in Startup).

BUT ... how do I suppress the MS Access "program shell" from showing?
In other words, the only thing I want the user to see on their desktop is my
designated form ... and no other component indicating it is an Access program.

THANKS a BUNCH !!!

You most certainly can, and should hide all of the ms-access interface. The
options to complete hide and keep people out of the ms-access interface can
easily be done using the tools->start-up options. Using those options allows
you to complete hide the ms-access interface (tool bars, database window
etc). Also, using these options means you
do not have to bother setting up security.

Try downloading and running the 3rd example at my following web site that
shows a hidden ms-access interface, and NO CODE is required to do
this....but just some settings in the start-up.

After you try the application, you can exit, and then re-load the
application, but hold down the shift key to by-pass the start-up options. If
want, you can even disable the shift key by pass. I have a sample mdb file
that will let you "set" the shift key bypass on any application you want.
