Default display form on desktop - 03-31-2009 , 06:35 AM






Hi,

I'm using Access 2003.

On startup of my application I show a form. This form however is displayed
on the layout of Access (menubars, background, etc). Is it possible to hide
this Access-environment so that the form of my application is displayed
directly on my desktop?

Thanks,

susan

It is possible, but not simple and has some undesireable side effects.

Details on how to hide the main Access window:
