Loading a form automatically when Access starts

message from George Papadopoulos on 26 May 2004
Hello everybody

I have built a small database with VBA support under Access 2000. The
application is almost complete and I would now like to have a form opened
automatically, when the database is started, instead of the Access
integrated development environment. How can I do that?

thx, in advance

Tools => Startup

Select the form of choice from the drop-down list under Display Form/Page.

Do not sign out from your database. Leave it open for continual. Most
database programs including Acess, Paradox, dBase and File Maker Pro etc
applicant creates data which can be easily searched, sorted, printed and
organised eg: address book.

On the menu bar, go to Tool|Startup.

Be carefull unchecking boxes. If you remove all of the toolbars and menus
and uncheck the Special Keys box, you may have a hard time getting back into
your developement environment. The special keys are keys such as holding
down Shift when starting the database to bypass startup options, F11 to show
the database window, Alt+F11 to show the VBA window, etc.
