    Releasing program as accde and hiding all window objects


    Hi,
    I am about to release my access db as accde to client but want to know the following
    1. Show only the dashboard from which the user can navigate to different objects (only those which are made available)
    2. Hide the access application in the background. In the accde that I am making - when the user clicks the program icon in the taskbar the form minimises but the access application shows in the background. Need to know how this can be hidden.


    sorry if my questions are too vague, but I am a novice and would really appreciate a little help or guidance in this matter.

    Sincerely
    Chandrajit

    this is a common request and there are plenty of threads on this and other forums about how to do it. Look to the bottom of this thread for some similar threads on this forum - the first one looks like a close fit to what you need

    See this link for an example database https://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=69856.
    This includes code for removing the navigation pane, ribbon, taskbar and Access application window.
    Choose the parts you want to use.
