Opening JUST THE FORM

[Jacob Frankham]

Hi

I want my users to be able to open up my access application, and for just
the FORM to appear, ie not the grey access background and toolbar

Obviously, when the user clicks on 'Open Report' I wish for the tollbar and
background to appear, but then when the report is closed for it to dissapear
back to just my form again

Can this be done?

Thx

In Tools/Startup enter the form you want to appear. You
might want to uncheck the "Display Database Window"

Hi

I have already done that, but the access back page/window still appears - I
JUST want the form itself !!!

Agh!!

I assume you want the form to open up full screen and no
menu bar. You must be designing either custom tool bars
for each form or all your controls in the form.

In tools startup uncheck the "Display database Window" this
will hide the Window displaying the names of your tables,
forms.....

In the toolbar customization area on the "Menu bar"
properties uncheck all the boxes. This will completely
hide the menubar and not allow the user to customize.

Have your form open at the Maximized state.
Disable the "X" at the top right of the form.

Is this what you want?

Also on the copy you distribute to your users, Disable the
shift bypass key.

The only way to do this is to design your form as a Popup and maximize it.
You'll have to hide it so that it doesn't cover any report window that
opens - and make it visible again when the user closes the report.

Maybe this will be of some help.
