Modal Form

[razoRjaw]

Hi all, I used the code provided by AJ above and it works, but too well. it doesn't show anything at all on my screen and i don't even see access running in the process list.
Is there a way to force access to not run the code on startup now? like an idiot, i did not save a copy of the project before I implemented the code and my last copy was about 4 hours of work ago...
thanks

If you execute the code by AutoExec or on the Startup, then just hold the shift button when opening your DB, that should keep the DB from calling whatever you call on startup.

Also, this code is meant to hide the DB after code has been put into place that either has a form showing at all time or closes the DB fully when complete. And you won't see it in the task manager applications tab, but you can kill the process of MSACCESS.EXE under the process tab.

ah sweet that worked! thanks!
ok, now i just need to figure out how to make sure that my switchboard form always shows up.

at least this was a good lesson in versioning my changes more frequently... :)

update: bc I had not set modal to yes, only popupwhen it did not work. now that I've set it to modal it works awesomely!
lesson two: read the post till the end before implementing...

I'm very pleased that helped RazoRjaw, but please do not post your requests in somebody else's thread in future. That's thread hijacking and we don't allow it here (See How to Ask a Question).

I have split this from the original thread (Can you have 2 access forms open on 2 different monitor screens?).

Otherwise, Welcome to Bytes!

Thanks for posting that explanation, NeoPa! I kept trying to figure out where the first part of the thread was and figured I was just having a 'senior moment!'
