===============================
Access 2002 (XP)

I can make my user Forms "PopUp" and "Modal" which renders the main Access Window inaccessible, but how do I get the main (parent) window off the screen so the user can't even see it? What can I put in the Form Open event?Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

'Minimize or hide the main window
How do I do this???

End Sub
Thank you for any and all comments, suggestions, and assistance.

By the main window.. do you mean the access application itself, or the database window??

Danny ...

I'd like to get rid of everything possible. Since my forms are 'freestanding', there is no need for any of the other window objects and I'd like to keep the users out of them as much as possible.

Thanks for your gracious assistance.

check tools>start up
untick the database window.

the shortcut keys will still work, but you can disable these too on there ( be careful with it though).

Thanks Vince ...

I keep loosing these tidbits of information ... Access is so fragmented! I think I've got it now.
