Very, very basic security question

[bjclaywell]

I've done this in the past by accident (in Access 2000),
but can't figure out how I did it. Now I'm in Access
2002. I want to set up the database so the only thing the
user sees upon entry is the switchboard, and can click on
different options thereby activating forms and reports,
but doesn't show the tables, etc. in the background. I
would then have to use Shift Open to get too all of that.
I don't believe this is in the User Security area...

Thanks in advance...

Tools > Startup. Set the Switchboard to be the Display Form/Page.

I am having the same problem using Access 2003. Although I do set the
Switchboard as the Display Form/Page, the entire Database tables, queries,
form, etc. are accessible because the Database window with such info is only
minimized, rather than dissaperaing. Any solution?

Check the 'Show Windows in Taskbar' option in Tools, Options is set
appropriately. If that doesn't do it, verify that there isn't code in the
switchboard that's causing the db window to appear.
