Switchboard defaults

[user]

I am trying to show only the main switchboard when the database file is
opened. I went to Tools/Startup and unchecked display database window.
However, when the file is opened the main swithboard opens, but the
database window also opens in minimized view(bottom left on screen).

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Open the Switchboard form in design view, then use View, Code. Look in the
Form Open event. You will see

DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "Switchboard", True
DoCmd.Minimize

This is causing the db window to appear and then minimize, which occurs
after your startup options.
Just remove or comment out these lines and it should work.
