[AccessD] access xp runtime

Hi David,

I'm (almost) sure I saw some API code a couple of years ago that
completely hid the Access parent container window. 
I can't find it on my pc but its out there somewhere ;-)

cheers

My only plan for it is to hide the database window, put a different icon
on the titlebar. My client doesn't require menu bar or toolbars (thank
goodness). I'm hoping this will look like any other software in a box.
