Did you search my archives? (http://www.wolfwares.com/AccessD) They are missing the last month or two (long story), but they go back a few years.

Can you give a little help in finding the instructions? Thanks.

The methodology to prevent the ap from closing has been discussed extensively in the archives, just add some code to that to close the currently visible report and you should be OK. -Chris Mackin -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Lonnie Johnson Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 7:37 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] Calling all Gurus - Hide Access Window Thanks DD, Charlotte and Jim. I may consider using the process of unhiding the Access MDI when viewing a report. The only thing I didn't like when I tested it is that they have the (X) to close the application. The user may mistake this X as the one to close the report. In the form that they use they have to close the app with a button. Anyway, thanks again everyone. You've all earned the rank of Guru in my books. Darren DICK wrote: Hi Lonnie I use this code all the time too. When you want to "SEE" (i.e. Preview) a report you have to make the Access window (MDI) visible again I do this in the onclick of the 'launching' command button for the report or in the load Events of the report. Then when the report is closed I have code in the Unload to make the MDI hidden again I like the look of the hidden MDI and it really suits my purposes, you just have to put up with The hide, unhide aerobics if you want to keep hiding the MDI for forms. If I am mistaken about the MDI and previewing reports I am sure someone from the list will let me know See ya DD -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Lonnie Johnson Sent: Wednesday, 3 November 2004 8:14 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] Calling all Gurus - Hide Access Window Yes, I have created the menu as and a toolbar as Jim had also suggested and assigned their names in the property window for the form and cannot see either of them when I open it. Am I missing another step? Thanks Charlotte. Bobby, Right Click dosen't work in this case with the HideWindow code. Thanks to all so far.

(Small snippet below) Private Declare Function IsWindowVisible Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long Dim dwReturn As Long Const SW_HIDE = 0 Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1 Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2.... It is working fine except withe reports. I am even able to preview reports. However, how do I print them? Has anyone worked this part out? I know there is an answer out there somewhere! Thanks in advance. May God bless you beyond your imagination!
