Hello:

Just a quickie this time :)

Was wondering if it is possible to manipulate the main Access database window.

In particular, I'd like to be able to do the following:

1. Move the position of the Database Window to any coordinate. Not really important, but it would be a "nice to be able to do".

2. Change the VIEW of the currently selected Object in the Database Window using code.

Right now, I can show the DB Window and select an Object type easily enough by entering something like:

Code:
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, , True

I can't, however, seem to find any references to anything that might allow me to refine on this so I can change the VIEW, for example, from List View to Details View, or from Details View to Icons View in this window.

There might be a SendKeys combination that might work, but I'd prefer to use a specific object/method if there is one.

All thoughts/suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
