I know I'm missing something simple here, but...

When I double-click the icon on my desktop, the application opens up and even opens the correct form, but isn't there a way to JUST display the form and not the IDE behind it?

I hope that made sense. Thanks.

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Thank you, @Joe4 .

Just to be clear, I still want the user to see "frmMain", I just don't want them to see the main "Access" window behind frmMain (the main IDE/GUI with File, Home, Create, External Data, Database Tools, etc.)

I am reading that page that you linked but the images aren't showing up for me. Trying them now...

Edit: I am using Access 365, if that makes any difference.
