Hide Access and show only my forms

[mortenskipper]

How can i hide the main access window and have only my projects form show up, looking like a standalone app.? I'm using office 2010 x64 on a windows 7 system.

i don't think you can do this, but you make your application look like it's been written without access if you want. that's what most people do i would guess

you can hide the ribbon and hide the objects - in the Manage this DB area of 07; plus you can make a custom menu bar and also maximize the form size....all this probably will get you where you want to go....instructions on all these tasks would be found in an Access07 textbook found at any big box bookstore or Amazon.

You can use this example (see module2):

It will hide all MSAccess information and show just the form. (note: there are a lot of other neat examples you can do in this example with forms.)

Theform manipulations zip will not load.

If it doesn't recognize the unzipped file, it means you need to make this website a trusted website before downloading the zip file.

Once you open the mdb, make sure to debug/compile the code and then give it a test. I've been using this routine for years now and it's worked without any problems (even on window 7, Office 2010.)

Hi i just exactly did what you're planning long time age, just learn :P to make an access app just like standalone app here's what i do: first make all of my object's (forms / reports/ etc) property set to yes for it's Pop Up then on Current Database setting - I set MyIndex form on startup app the secret , for me , is to insert MyIndex's event 'on Open' property with macros: selectObject form,MyIndex,yes runcommand appminimize then it's done thanks

Hi Rizkidwip
Can you please give your sample database that you use in hiding the windows panel. and only showing the form.
I need this badly. Please send me a email at japth_41@yahoo.com.

Thank you.

That will probably work but it's giving me a compile error because I'm 64bit. I don't have enough experience to fix that problem. thanks for your help
