[AccessD] Access 101 question

Darryl,

There are a couple of ways to do this.  One is to use an AutoExec macro.  If your DB has a macro named AutoExec, it will run it automatically when the db opens.  I usually set the macro to RunCode() and point it to some startup routine.  You can also specify a form to load on startup, and place code in that form's OnLoad or OnOpen events, or you can use the /x command line switch when you start Access to specify the name of a macro to run on start up.

Hope this helps . . .

Don

Hey there,

I am sure this is dead easy, but am having brain freeze today.  What is the equivalent in Access of Excel's "Workbook_Open" command?  "Workbook_Open" will automatically run as the workbook opens and I want the same sort of thing for Access.  There are a few things I need to check as Access Opens but I am not sure on the syntax of this.

Cheers
Darryl
