Minimize Access Windows at the opening

M

michel

Hello,

At the opening of my access application, I am hiding the Access window (only
a splash screen appears). I am using the API - API_ShowWindow.

Unfortunately, during a very short time between the opening of Access and
the appearance of the splash screen, the access window appears. There is a
kind of "flash" which is annoying. I guess Access has first to open, then
read the autoexec macro and only then is able to catch the HideWindows
command. I did not find any mean to avoid this"flash".

One way to make it dispappear would be to open Access in a minimized state
(meaning only available on the task bar).

But I do not know to open an application on a minimized state. There is
probably some options to add after "C:\Program files\Microsoft
Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" but I do not know them.

Any idea

Thank you in advance

Michel

Depending on your version of Access, go to Tools|Startup and uncheck the box that says
"Show database window".
