    Open DB on Main Form

    Hi,

    I want my db to open with only the Main form visible. Nothing else. I don't want the users to be able to see any of the tables or menu options etc.

    Can I do this and if so how?

    Right now my main form is very hokey looking and not professional at all.

    Thank you


    Joe

    Set database option setttings: File > Options > Current Database

    Hide navigation pane, disable shortcut menus, disable function keys, disable ribbon.

    Be aware that holding down shift key while opening db will override these option settings.

    Is there a way to set the size of the forms so they appear centered no matter the size?

    That is the form AutoCenter property setting.
