Database window bugging the crap out of me

[usurper4]

I have an Access database that is working great except for one thing: I can't get rid of the Database window!

In Tools-->Startup, I have Display Database Window unchecked...doesn't work.

I tried a Macro under Autoexec...doesn't work.

What happens is as follows:
database boots up to a login screen
user puts in name and password and hits Continue
opens the main Switchboard

however, in front of the Switchboard is the database window; it's not "on focus", but it's there, and it shouldn't be enabled at all. The user has to select the Switchboard in order to get past the database window.

Any suggestions on what I'm missing? I've double checked my code behind the Continue button; nothing there. So, please, help!

Hi, I think I understand the issue. In your switchboard form design, click Edit -> Select Form, Click View -> Properties -> Other -> Modal -> make sure this is set to 'Yes'. Does this have the effect you want if you re-run your login macro?

Nope. I already had modal enabled. Just for kicks, I tried switching it to Popup as well, which works, but obviously doesn't allow for anything else to take the forefront in the Access database.

I also tried making an .mde, but the Database Window still comes up. I'm really at a loss.

Depending on your version of Access (I know this works on some versions), in your login macro, after you close the login screen but before you open the switchboard, try adding the following line into our macro :
RunCommand -> WindowHide
If you have an autoexec macro, you could add this line into that macro instead of the login macro.
HTH, Andrew.
