Instant load of a form

[carstenhdk]

Hi




Is it possible to make the database load a form when it is started? When I click on the database file on the desktop, I would like it to instantly open the form Frontpage. How is that possible?

In 2007 click the Office Button, Access Options, then Current Database. Select a Display Form.

I asume that you are using Windows 7:

Click the Microsoft Office Button (upper left corner)
Click the Access Options button in the bottom right corner of the menu that appears
Click the Current Database category on the left side of the Access Options dialog box
Under Application Options section look for the option called "Display Form." Select your form name from the combo box
Click Ok to close the Access Options
The next time you open the database your form will load on Startup

You can also create an AutoExec Macro:

Set Action Of the Macro to Open Forms

Form Name=Select the Form you Want to Open
View=Form
Window=Normal

Now Name the Marco AutoExec.
When you start open your database the AutoExec maro is run and you form will open.



if this solves your problem mark the thread solved.
