[AccessD] Hiding Main Access Window

Yes, you can do this, it requires the ShowWindow API call.  It is commonly
known that you also need to set all of the forms that you want visible to
have their popup property set to yes, but also in 2000, that you need the
modal property set to yes also.  I have a method that does not require the
modal property in 2000.

Go to the Access section of my site (http://www.wolfwares.com) and download
the Always On Top database.  It does exactly what you want (and a little
more, it puts the form 'always on top', kinda handy....).  Susan and I
actually published an article about that...should be out this month in
Inside Microsoft Access.

Subject: [AccessD] Hiding Main Access Window


To all,
 
I'm sure I have seen this somewhere but can't for the life of me remember
where, I have an Access 2000 application that a few people have a shortcut
to on their machines, which when opened opens the main Access window (as
usual) and a switchboard.  Is there anyway I can hide the main Access window
so that the application looks similar to a Visual Basic application ?
 
Thanks in advance for all your help.
