Hello all,

I'm automating an access database process, but I would like for it to happen in the background if possible.

Currently, I have an AutoExec macro in Access 2003 that calls VBA code to run the process. Access is started as a Scheduled Task in Windows XP SP2. This is set to run in mid morning. Everything works spendidly, but when it starts, Access pops up on my screen, taking the focus and runs its process, then shuts down. Is there a way to start Access in a hidden state with the task scheduler or through a command line? Or would I be able to put in some VBA code to start the app invisibly?

Thanks,
Ranthalion
