[AccessD] access xp runtime

"wants his database to not look like an access database (no problem)" D&J

...lol ...runtime is one thing ...I run them on several client systems 
...but I'd really, really like to know how you make an Access db not look 
like an Access db ...the only way you can hide the Access window, afaik, is 
using popups which severely limits your gui ...alternatively you can fill 
the window with your main form and call subforms to do most of your work, an 
appoach I quickly abandoned ...and even then the user can still expose the 
Access window in a number of ways you can't control.

...building innovative guis is one thing ...but making it not look like an 
Access db? ...I'm all ears?

...btw, if you have the option I highly recommend upgrading your development 
system to A2K3 and buying the VSTO.
