    Red face Can you run just a form from the desktop?

    I'm a bit of an idiot with Access, although I have had some great help from you guys recently with a number of pretty basic niggles... so here's another one!

    I have a form that I use to enter customer details. Is it possible to have an icon on the desktop that when clicked, only opens this form, with the rest of Access invisible behind...

    ...so just to confirm... all you see is the form and the frame to the form (with the maximise, minimise and close buttons showing), everything else is hidden.

    If so... how do you do it?



    Kind regards... Tony

    too add, most API's are not even advisible anymore, from what I've read, simply because of the risk. I may be wrong though. Some are still OK of course.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
