    Hide all but forms

    I'm looking to create a database that, upon opening, hides all of access, except the form itself. I'm not looking to just minimize the main window, but completely hide it.

    The first form that opens will be the 'Enter Password' splashscreen. So, I need it to be the ONLY part of Acces shown.



    I've searched all over the net, but it seems that the solution that worked in 2003 and before, just doesn't seem to work in 2007.

    Does anyone know how this can done?

    The easiest solution would be to just use the Access Runtime. Then the user would only be able to see the Forms.

    As long as anyone has a full version of Access and direct access to your database, they'll always have the ability to get into stuff that you don't want them too.

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