Um, try again Brett. I said ACCESS Window, NOT the database window. If you know of a way, without VBA (or any other 'code language') to hide the ACCESS Window, I'd love to know. Hiding the access window puts your forms on the desktop, and you don't have Microsoft Access sitting in the taskbar.

C'mon now Drew! Some of us who began Access development before VBA recall using DoMenuItem Form, Window, Hide in our AutoExec macros to hide the Access window (alternatively you could use DoCmd DoMenuItem in AccessBasic code, your choice!). In A97 and beyond, the same can be accomplished with RunCommand WindowHide in a Macro. Not the most elegant solution (only works if your database window is active), but I can personally show you one of our A2 apps that uses it, and it hasn't failed once in the last 8 years!
